I said one word,
gave one look,
and now I am
bright red and in hot water.
You are my demise,
my destruction,
my edge.
Decadent, delicious, sweet.
With you, I will be devoured.
My entity itself will simply
disappear.
Yet you complete me.
I am unloved without you.
If I didn't know better,
I am the lobster
and you are my butter.
