You treated my eyes
and you saw the lines
of my passion’s recesses.
You enclosed my mouth into yours
and whispered a vision
of my life’s bearing.
In darkness,
hate and anger,
you wandered along my being.
Bound my hands,
Stained of lashes,
scratches and flames.
You preyed on my feast;
Your touch pierced me;
By your desire it bled me.
Smothered my contours
where you inscribed the path
of your dirtiest fantasies.
Your lips is a curse
of the forbidden principle
The stolen love and broken promise.
Was I motionless, nearly dead.
That’s my future
so foul it bled my soul.
You let me soar, spin in space.
Like raw vampires in perfect grace.
Hampered pleas and instatiable craze,
Our union became my tears
Mourning over a stolen lace.
Blood per blood, flesh per flesh
My entity you shattered
My life you severed
Watch me clean myself now
Burned to ashes by the flames you took me on.
