Regretfully Defeating

You
You squeeze my organs until they're ponds of drying mud You steal my sight and leave me helpless without You gnaw at my lips with the force of desert winds, chapping You hollow my legs for sink holes to look below through You command my circulation elsewhere, my wrists to be tingly and numb You destroy my body for unforgiving entertainment Your passionate goals leaving frantic shaved door sills and disturbed nail beds in my ceased attempts of recovery You ruin me entirely You do it personally disguised with love and improvement on mind You are cruel and single sided Yet, it mirrors Abuse on the victim, to victimising the abuser You are me and I am you Our decomposing concious body no longer fights, simply raises our splattered and stained ivory flag for a defeat in a relationship that will not end for any pleas I beg with my hands, legs, and voice I negotiate with my eyes, heart, and conditioned will
You Us or we? Poor poor me.
