destroyed

i ripped myself apart,
for you. i tore at my skin,
scrapped the flesh from
my nails, for you. the
blood made my hands
slippery but i pursued on,
for you. the hair you once
tangled in, became pulpy
clumps in no time. the eyes
you only complimented once
were easy to gouge out;
i scooped the orbs
as easily as you
sat back and urged me on.
