Cannibalistic desire
She lets herself be eaten
Devoured by every lover
A collar round her throat
Objectified
She tries to be mild mannered
Tries to laugh and smile
But her eyes are too glazed
And her voice comes out cracked
She is bittersweet at best
All theirs at worst
She serves herself up with garnish
To trick them, to trick herself

And you can’t even see her sometimes
Cause all her emotions
Turn her into a chameleon
Jumble her up till you can’t find her edges
Mixed together like rinsing a paintbrush

They can’t leave her be
poem seven from "Messages for Nerve Cells"
my end of semester poetry portfolio from my poetry workshop


and omg i just realized that having the title be "untitled" actually works because like it talks about her being objectified and hard to see and stuff so like she's untitled in a lot of ways because she's like unnamed and unseen and almost like whatever anyone wants her to be and omg i was like all abstracty and symbolic and whatever without even realizing it!

....

hahahahhaa
no but really it actually does work and i really did just realize it.
