Killing the Snake

Killing the Snake.
We've hit rock bottom.
It's more than I can take. 
It's over.
Don't make it harder than it has to be.
It's killing you and it's killing me.
Don't ask me to stay.
It has to end this way.
You are a snake wrapped around my whole body.
It isn't healthy. 
Revulsion at your cold skin.
You'll have to help me. 
I can't end this on my own.
My heart beats, pulsing.
Reaping what you have sown. 
I've made my decision. 
Let me go. 
The arms of the devil, his muscles snaking.
This isn't home. 
Breathtaking.
Heart racing.
A tree root.
Tapping into me.
I think you are an animal.
Irresponsible. 
You're starved and its me you crave.
You're a cannibal. 
Your alien eyes stare blankly into mine, expecting me to cave.
My muscles liquify.
Struggling only makes it worse.
You make my heart pound, bounding pulse.
Restraining me.
I'm fighting. 
It's raining blood, inside me. 
Constricting around me tightly, like a vice.
Please let me go.
I can't get free, you're scaring me.
I can't sustain you.
I said no.
Red eyes. Blue skin, still you squeeze me in.
The river runs deep. The waters rising. 
I said I want to go.
You want what you can't keep as you hold me to sleep.
The crush I had on you is now crushing me.
Shattering my bones. Its not a clean break. 
Like a snake.
You've infected me.
Taking my breath away. 
Begging me to stay.
I weep. 
The venom slows my heart. 
The poisons crawling in my veins.
I drown in a red sea. 
Accept you're better off without me. 
I know its sad. 
But I'm gone already.
I drown, going down with you coiled around my body.
The only part of me you'll ever have.
