What can my fatigued Mind do?
When sleep abandons my thoughts
And restlessness moves in instead
Coloring my night's worries
With constant nagging pains
And the taste of dryness on my tongue
Feeding cancerous lumps in my throat
And the breathe of life from my lungs
Snuffed out without shame
You rape me
You imprison me
You silence me
You suffocate me
You nail me to
Walls of invisible emptiness
You victimize me
Over and over again
How can I bleed any more?
When my blood has coagulated.
Its not the physical abuse that hurts the most
But your silent neglects of who I am
Your love making every night
To cold mugs and a remote
Your love making late, late at night
Under cover of your laptop
Where on the hunt from harlot to harlot
As your eye's droop with lust
Your hand down your crotch
Stroking wide open the doors of self-love
With intensities once shared with mine
As your breath with flames erupt
Which once were my domain?
When you first trapped me with your addiction
And now like a bathroom mat
You step on me with unwashed feet
And now I witness your guiltless stains
That you toss in the clothes hamper
For me to wash you lusts away
How can I cut these locks open?
That bind me with invisible keys
Hiding in your cruelty?
