I grip the barbed wire that I use a rein, For this beast of a world that I cannot yet tame, I grit my teeth and I hold my breath, The name of my lover is death. I kneel in the salt as I am abused, With cables and whips, yet I am amused, Blood hits the floor, and I smile at the stain, The name of my lover is pain. I spit out the words that I hear in my soul, Reciting them from this internalized scroll, I gather my demons and open the gate, The name of my lover is hate.

A Love Poem
I grip the barbed wire that I use a rein, For this beast of a world that I cannot yet tame, I grit my teeth and I hold my breath, The name of my lover is death. I kneel in the salt as I am abused, With cables and whips, yet I am amused, Blood hits the floor, and I smile at the stain, The name of my lover is pain. I spit out the words that I hear in my soul, Reciting them from this internalized scroll, I gather my demons and open the gate, The name of my lover is hate.
