Ribcage
Learn more about other poetry terms
I'm losing weight because
you only love me for my skeleton,
on my ribs you carve ampersands,
because my life is nothing
without your "and's."
"And the others are prettier,
the others are wise."
I hold my breath when you kiss me to stop the rattling of my ribs and the expansion of lungs. So my body remains undisturbed, unless it is touched by you.
Ribcage
Open your ribcage
To try and see the thing inside
That threatens to drag you under
The hunger causes it
It eats away at you
Gives you dead eyes
And fuzzy thoughts
