"Vampires are hot. They're the only erotic monsters. Frankenstein is not hot."

- Joel Schumacher

You came and you carved me open
Hollowing me out
Leaving room for a less kind version of me
To crawl inside
Making a home in your bloody wake
Any kindness left is a falsehood
A mask that I clutch to myself
Covering my truest, most honest self
The version of me that would pick up your discarded knife
And carve you bloody in turn
