You're so selfish, entrail fish-


You're so selfish, entrail fish- Sucking all my energy out on a daily basis. Leaving me weak at my peak and soundless, groundless… slowly sinking… You're so selfish, entrail fish- Sucking all my feelings from the center of my belly. I go about the day with you at bay, it makes it easier to set myself apart from those soon to depart. You're so selfish, entrail fish- Sucking all the eggs from my ovaries You render me unproducing at an age of introducing. At a time I when I should be a sponge, I am unable to lunge. You're so selfish, entrail fish- leaving me without a pelvis to stand on. I am beneath the surface, drowning in all that you have taken from me.
