Pound of flesh
for an ounce of freedom.
Somehow this all seems so unredeeming.
Give back
Give a little.
Not enough.
Give a lot.
Not enough.
"Give yourself so that I may take."
Give myself.
Too much.
Another pound of ****** flesh splatters on the table
Still you sit emotionless.
Express
Regress
Expose
Impose.
Take my flesh,
Bleed me dry,
Skin me whole.
Devour my soul.
Walk away.
****** mess.

Another pound of ****** flesh splatters on the table
Still you sit emotionless.

Expose
Impose.
Take my flesh,
Bleed me dry,
Skin me whole.
Devour my soul.
Walk away.
