The table is set,
My disembowelled heart atop the silver.
The blood is still fresh from the knife and
I present that to you too,
In case there is another offering you might prefer more.Take it.
Take as much as you'll need to take me back.
Tears at the altar
Author's Note
Reading this one again feels strange for sure because I don't feel this way at all anymore. But I remember when I did. And it's weirdly satisfying to recall how I felt this so heavily I had to write it all down. Do you guys know what I mean?
This week's dedication goes to DiverseLiterati because they read Godspeed, loved it, and now they're back to read ICHTYATS!! Thank you for your support wowowow!
