Sanguine

It is never painless to bare my bones. But this time, in our embrace, I find only my flesh worn by you as armor.

"What have you done?" I scream, tearing at you, fingers bleeding.

"You'll have it back. But look at me, I'm you," you laugh. Your eyes, the only things still truly yours, gleeful.

I cry your final tear while your life flashes before me, as my charcoal heart turns you.

Your story is mine now. My old self shattered into a pile of bones, then dust.

Wow felt like I was dropped in the middle of a dialogue and then plunged back out
