I'll tear myself apart for you, from the inside out

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

I was made to love you but,
You were made wonderful and whole,
And so I sought to tear you apart.
Because how dare something so lovely exist,
While I was only worthy to suffer

I wanted you
I wanted you

I would tear myself apart for you

Break apart my bones and,
Reform them,
In a mold that you might choose,
One that would be deserving of you,
So that you might finally look at me as I looked at you:

As though I warmed you like the very Sun,
Beautiful and bright,
Even as my gravity,
Pulled you, reeled you in
And crushed the caverns of your chest,
(Till your heart slowed and your lungs heaved)

Till there was absolutely nothing left.

Notes:

I'm sorry I don't really know how punctuation in poetry works, I don't do this often. This was born almost entirely out of sleep deprivation and the desire for feedback that did not involve me having to show this to people I know in real life.

If you have any comments that would be very cool.
