Samantha Mcdougal Poet Free verse

And Into the Gallows

You drew me to this open plain
And down this drain
And up again.
You drew me to this hazy day
And into the gallows.

You'll weep into an open vein
With deeper pain 
Than lashes gained.
You'll tempt me with a chastised egg
And into the gallows.

You'll open up this waited cup
With honeyed tugs 
And wetted tongues.
You'll drag me with a liquid drug
And into the gallows.

You'll rot inside my open mouth,
Inside this shroud
On sacred ground.
You'll keep my chalice pointed south
And into the gallows.

You push remorse to break the doors 
That lead into
A heated course 
Of closing walls with pleasing force
And into my gallows.
