I'm Not Done.

Listen to these whispers

you're going to find a terror you haven't encountered

in your peaceable years in your masculine form

 

wait with baited breath on the edges

the blood will flow slowly

so don't move just yet

 

i'm not done

 

you'll cry out

and i'll smile softly to myself

as if I had any mercy

or will to unbind you

 

you have made yourself mine

by the bitterness you've instilled

therefore weakening your state

strengthening my blood

my taste

my bite

my dominance

 

so cry out

as if I have mercy

as if there is anything

that will stanch the flow of blood

at this given moment

 

and know

just know

 

i'm not done
