“liaison dangereuse”



Tear a thin line 
along my skin
softly velvet
finger tips 
no nurses gloves

down my neck
along my throat
with something
sharp like words

my past and my future
not mine and mine

All because we’re...

Hiding my face from all in my vision,
Abandoned by my bosses,the terror leads,
