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.
