My skin is torn away from my muscle and bone,

sharp claws dug into me

and teeth tore through my neck

Oh bear you look so sweet

With your fluffy fur and

Sweet eyes

And wet nose

I tried to feed you,

To touch your paws

hold you close

and you repaid me with

Turning me inside out

And back again

I try  to cover up when you reveal my lungs

And my heart

Protect my vitals and make sure

You don’t see what’s within me.

I never planned to spill my guts,

So you tear them out yourself

You read my bones and the ridges of my brain

like i’m just another book for you to ruin

draw all over

bend

break

And toss out

Or donate to the local library.

I don’t regret choosing you

The wild animal that you are

Because i know it’s only natural for you

To take me apart.

Your violence is not cruelty,

And when you eat my remains I hope

it tastes good

that your stomach is full

And when you encounter the next person,

You are no longer hungry.
