If I had Claws

If I had claws,

I would rip out my own heart and give it to you.

If I had fangs,

I would bite my skin till it bleeds so you could drink.

If I could thrawl

I would thrawl myself so I could never harm you.

I would hurt myself a thousand times before I could ever hurt you.

Is this love? Or is it just desire,

Burning like a monster in my stomach.

Only surfacing with thoughts of I want to eat you.

But I wouldn't, if I could

I wouldn't eat you until you eat me.

Until we could share the dark abyss of each other's insides

As I claw you out, my own heart, just to give it back to you

If I had claws.
