Betrayal
Heavy arms and fingers pry
Into open wounds
And my bed just pulls me down
Pain is all I've found
Piano chords into lullaby
Songs that collide in night
Through thickening blood
Blinding unfeeling light
Bodies twitching under stars
I swear I'd never go this far
Not for a few years
Your sex makes this emotion hard
Melodic melancholy drags
Because of the penetrating blow
Oleander skin with rose red lips
The vision of an undertow
I was trapped while you smoked
Drew in deepening breath
Curled like serpentine
With color like death
Soft were whispering sheets
Pet names and lies
Crackling voices spoke
Not one looked me in the eye
Hate savior forgave me
Tried to find the words
None came to mind
He said the confession hurt
Wrists speak with veins open
Begging for your attention
Though I never deserved it
I seek for your affection
