The Sheath

Control elucidates your very needs
As her breath wisps you away
     In a single plight.
You find yourself savory
     With such delight.
As your needs are fulfilled
     With a single grin.
Forgiven are the sins
     She forces on you.
As security is essential 
     To your survival.
Withdrawn 
     Your will to flee.
Ever-growing
     Your falsified love.
Regret is not in your vocabulary. 
As her breath wisps you away
     In a single plight.
