The Pleasures of Love
your doll face , your doll hands
your heart beats inside a cage
and you love him
the others leave you
in between boredom and
annoyance
his falcon eyes and
smooth body
so strong and filled
with secrets
but i must tell you
that we are made cruel by
this world and
brought to it honestly
it is in
the middle of all the things
that we are
and we will hurt you
in ways you cannot
understand
or be ready for
he will want more and more of you
until it burns your world
will turn from you when you
give him everything
will only be with you
when he is with you
until he is with another
in a few days
you may hear it
a dozen times
but believe
it only once.
don't say I didn't warn you.
