Here I am

Let the crows strip me

Of what is left of my humanity

 

I offer myself

Wholly

To your depravity

 

My weakness

Is your strength

See my flesh

And feast

 

Devour me

I succumb

I Submit!

Your commitment

Has convinced me

I am worthless

 

Do you like the taste

Of my blood?

Go ahead

Drink

As you see fit

 

What is that ...

Do I see a glimmer?

Silly me

I thought

For a moment

I saw a hint

Of conviviality

 

Silly me

Wishful thinking

A desperate claw

Scratching at water

For a brief relief

A last ditch attempt

At clarity

 

Carry on

Take what you need

I only hope

That I can fulfill your greed

 

Strangely I feel content

In the knowledge

That I will never

Satisfy your needs

I will die

Drained of love

And my life

Will be complete

 

I shall haunt you

From above

But you will never

See me again

 

Silly me

I thought you cared

But now I realise

You were just scared

Despite your gut full

Of blood

That’s just how

You will remain

 

So go ahead

Drink me in

Soak me up

I will lay myself

Bare for you

In the cold, hard

Rain

 

But you know

That what I have

And what I am

Will never, ever

Be enough

 

And with me

You will always

Have someone else

To blame

For your own failing

In life

And love.
