Him

My fear takes breath in you

You drew my world just to crumple the paper

I watch you inject sin into your bloodstream like a drug

Every time I break free your hand finds mine and down I fall

Every time I want to leave your grip tightens

Coiling around me like a snake

Enveloping my senses until there is only you

My eyes are clouded

My hands are worn

And yet you continue to suck the life from me like a viper

All encompassing, all knowing

Every glance I take holds you

Strike me and destroy me like sandpaper

Until I don't want to be released from your prison

"My darling."

You call me

As if the air still enters my lungs
