There is a man here
Made up of cobra skin and vein water rust
When he visits me the air turns to obsidian
He tears the indifference from my being
Letting my essence bleed out as he brands his image into my third eye
My intuition is destroyed, my common sense is broken, all replaced with him
Claiming me? Mocking me? Pulling me apart for
amusement?
He won’t say
He takes the gun from his head, and points it at my legs
My knees shot out from under me
I bow to him again
Storybook desire
Torching my skin
The idea of love was twisted
Mangled long ago
His will attests to that
In how he has me by the throat
His torture is his vice
His sadism my craving
He should have told me beforehand
I was never worth saving
A death cry in his voice
Resounding through my head
Keening in his laugh
Keeping the frigid passion fed
I’ve woken up
His voice no longer trapped within me
His essence no longer crawling into my skin like maggots
His palms no longer against my eyes, ears, mouth
Maybe like his words, all this newfound strength is just a lie
Maybe my senses will deny me my freedom again
But I love this feeling I have
When I see no point in feeling
