Criminal Escape

Hair entangled in your hands 
Pulling and jerking my being 
The pleasure of pain 
A bittersweet romance 

The power over me 
Tearing and biting my skin 
A joy in my bloodshed 
The tormented kiss 

Your demands spat 
Sweeping and controlling my spirit 
The hope in fear 
My only escape 

Emotion in motion 
Shattering bones, stopping my heart 
A final act of violent passion 
The crime of broken love.
