stockholm syndrome

tell me all the places that you hadn't touched before
my body is your petting zoo, my heart is also yours
Soaking up the silence as I morbidly adore
a pea on a plate fighting off a fork

I want to be your habit that controls you from the core
my eyes are for your sight, my lips are meant for yours
waking up in silence as I shamefully want more
a worm in the world a writhing little whore

tell me all the places that you hadn't touched before
my being is your clay, my heart is also yours
licking up the silence as I beg you give me more
a pea on a plate fighting off a fork

I want to be your muse, watch you wage your wars
my arms are your hooks, my soul is your lure
fill the deathly silence with my desperate cries for more
a cadaver in the dirt, a festering little germ

tell me all the places that you hadn't touched before
my body is your petting zoo, my heart is also yours
Soaking up the silence as I morbidly adore
a pea on a plate fighting off a fork

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about my struggles with succumbing to the pressures of sexual contact and verbal abuse, eventually learning to enjoy the way my inflictor left me afterwards "distant and wanting to reach out again". Disclaimer: this is not about rape or physical abuse...

'I want to be your muse, watch you wage your wars, my arms are your hooks, my soul is your lure', speaks volumes.

Your poem is very interestingly written; how you worked at your love and became moulded by your partner. Also writing about your sexual feelings and emotions very cleverly. Loved your poetry and your clever words making moving points about your rleationship. This poem is art you have crafted well; an enjoyable read and well written.
