Misshapes

Succeded in sharpening itself
In clawing its way inside
Poking, protruding, digging deep
This violation unjustified
I have been robbed
There is no longer any innocence left
I have been snatched and eaten whole
My heart lays semi digested
Wandering in spurts of consciousness-
     Just long enough to know where I am
But never knowing beyond long enough
So that once again my memory is expelled
This heavy, heavy weight mimicks
Corrupting and polluting as it goes
The length of me shriveled
So that now my true shape is unknown.
