Rabid

I read for I like

To read

About heartbreak

And disease

And I feel

Thirsty

Something to do

With the nerves

You taste like

Wine gone bad

You smell like

Death

And your bite

Is Rabid

You went straight

Through my nerves

To my head

While the others melt

You

You threw yourself

Hard like a doll

Against me

And I can’t breathe

Fever

Thirst

And excitement

You are rabid

And now

So am I
