Maria Mckee Human
Wanted to make you into a demigod
Superhuman so you’d never die
Die to me, my golden boy
I was so in awe of you I was silenced changed fire
A graven image in my heart
You’re more than human to me
And I’m alone now with my compulsions
And I’m desperate drained from all those tantrums
I don’t exist without a lover-fix
And I’m nothing without a heart overstuffed to the brim
of bursting
With murder in its wake
And you’re more than human
I can’t face
If I make you a god
Mythologize this bond
And all the other gods I use to fill that spot to
overdose
Revel in the flood, and my veins have turned against my
blood
And you the stand-in saviour
And I’ve tricked you into staying
More than human to me
