Devour

Sometimes it was so overwhelming, that envy,

That i had to take matters into my own hands

i’d drop to my knees, hugging

your thighs and swallowing you down

i pushed my head forward, throat gaping, until tears rolled down my cheeks, until you were slick with spit and sick, my chest heaving.

It was as if i wanted to take the parts of you i envied into myself, a twisted planting of the seed in the hopes i will grow into the body i desire. i wanted to bite it off and swallow it, take it as my own
