Bite the hand that feeds you
Kick the dog begging for scraps
Returning only to be
Thrown out in the cold
The foundations crumble
The heart fractured
Begging for scraps
But there is nothing to feed the hunger
You have nothing left to give
Just to be held close
Entwined in your arms
Rejected
Scored
Just to be seen
To see light in your eyes
The world is on fire
I want to return
To the beautiful in me
Not the ugliness you see
Why must I beg
I am sick inside
As I see your expression
As I move close
I am not demon
Nor am I monster
I am starving
I thirst
I breathe
If only there were bruises
Evidence of the pain
If only there was blood
To wash it away
Demands made
Promises given
I am unable to be your reverie
Unable to give
When I feel so untouched
Undesired
Unloved
I am trapped inside my flesh
Hating my vary nature
As your pierce me with your nails
By the repulsion in your eyes
I am not disgusting
I am beauty
Can you not see it
I know you can not feel me
You will never let me close
Bound to you
Out of desire
Out of obligation
Hiding my pain with devotion
Staying when my heart screams run
Because I feel you deserve love
After being so hurt and beaten
Abused
Unwanted
So you may feel the beauty of being chosen
I am prisoner
I know you can not rescue me
You are my captor
My enslaver
My lover
