The Horror

I once knew love …
That euphemism for torture, making slaves of some …

For such belies a code not true
Set in a helix of lies

You infect my life, my being
Sap my most precious energies
With your deceptions
Moulding me into your self-service
With your death laced kisses

I birthed offsprings of despair
Lost to myself and all else
Never having known myself
From birth

For you I’ve been sliced and diced
As you feasted on my flesh
Then set maggots to devour the remains

How lost was I for the love of you?

But He found my discarded bones
Gave me life …
