biter

if there’s anything to say,
it’s to keep your distance
from a biter.
though they may seem like a normal lover,
the danger is not in the passion
like it is
in the teeth.
for them, the extension of an arm, 
tilt of the head, or gentle grip
of the waist is nowhere close
to enough.
it might seem vain or like
a childish game at times,
but i promise you they simply 
aren’t looking beyond an excuse 
to chew.
every word you say is a different flavor. 
your existence is a siren 
and sometimes
it’s the only sound they wish to hear.
i’m sure it feels unbelievable
for them to want anything more 
out of you than
just a mouthful, but you’ve yet to hear the craziest,
most preposterous part

they’re probably not even hungry
