Predator

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

I met my predator on Craigslist;

he pursed me and showed interest.

 

He said all the right things 

that I've always wanted to hear.

 

My woundedness ate up every word

because I wanted to believe him.

 

I thought he cared about me,

but he was just grooming me. 

 

He saw someone he could mold  

into his own personal slave.

 

I did everything he asked of me

so that he stayed by my side.

 

I complied with all his wishes

because I didn't want to lose him.

 

But I realized he was using me

entirely for his enjoyment.
