Cruel experiment.
You have made me blunder
You lured me and poured lust down my throat until
I could not tell my flesh apart from roaring magma.
When you made me feel like I had consumed stardust
And it bubbled within me with a burning passion.
It ravaged me; you ravaged me.
Cruel experiment you torment me still with wise lies.
Oh let me stab my eyes
Till I can see no more the mistakes
you have caused me.
And pull out my lungs
So I can no longer breathe the pungent fumes of my guilt.

I bathed.
They told me I’d be safe here,
But the shallow waters felt like haunted depths
So I drowned still.
It clambered out from beneath the plug hole
And had my mother’s eyes.
Full of salt it stood there,
Deep and forlorn.
Seaweed for hair and no mouth at all
It reached towards me,
With the pallid face of a falling angel.
And I was no more.
