Achilles heel

stone cold grey

awake and tamed to the early break of day

woven with the evenings betrayal

of silent whispers

and forgotten amorous afflictions

i fear that i believed in your tales

for i wear a gullible ear

confiding in your eyes

though the ferocity of your hands

should have lead me far from your grasp

chaos brews within you

and the ever present hint of your smile

rivals your titanous lips  

you, tragically beautiful in your decadence

leave me gasping for air

for i must feed this vice

please, lead me to your burrow of endless defeat

for surely someday in your takings

my fragility will be lost
