Your tone speaks menace
my heartbeat quickens
I’m afraid of you and
addicted to fear I’m
afraid they’ll be
empty threats
hurt me
I silently plead
please
my body begs
what good is this flesh
without purple red brutality
what point is this mind
without torment and terror
“please…”
the word slips out
you laugh
you stop
“Remember, this isn’t about you.”
oh fuck I swear I
never forgot it’s just
I just
please?
please?
