Out loud in the dark you’re a beast
Raging against a mental cell, a
Carnivore slithering into blue
Hematic wells, drinking of me like
A parasite, an unwanted child brutally
Armoured. I cannot afford the price
Of disbelief, eyes closed, I hope love
Will come in time to save, if indeed
Anything of me still remains
=
Slip away when your murder is
Traceless and there is no DNA
Left to tell, only a husk, faintly
Human. My God she could have
Been anyone except me, I’d never
Let a man strip my neurons apart
With his teeth, masticate the very
Belief upon which I am founded
I am strong, intelligent, different
These scars bare no disfigurement
Accidents with a plausible excuse
=
Yet above her I stand adrift in a
Shapeless mourning, how pitiful
That smile when weighed upon
By the horror of those unblinking
Eyes and that face that I have applied
With such care, swollen beyond
Repair, my face as I have abhorred
It, my dishonest face in denial, broken
