my throne is made
of silver and bone
tarnished and alone
I sit waiting for you
threads tie my wrists
in ribbons of red string
like a pretty little parcel
another play thing
you toy with me
a game of cat and mouse
watch your fingers unbutton
the top of my blouse
I watch as you
uncover my chest
to plunge a dull dagger
into my breast
shock sets first
I sputter and cry
blood then bursts
hands covered red
my eyes aglow
a wounded animal
blood pools below
I think of your lips
of sunshine kisses
an ocean of care
until that moment
love was all fair
now the price is paid
heavy hearts lay
I foam at the mouth
like a rabid stray
my crown is made
of cobwebs and spiders
I think of your face
as consciousness fades
