Mindless Whispers

Your teeth are ready to sink into my skin,

They're ready to dig scars that won't ever heal,

To punch holes down my neck and call it love,

To peal skin off my flesh and call it lust,

Your hands are striping me of all my covering,

They're reckless, they're not shivering,

Your eyes are stealing my secrets,

While mine are closed as I scream breathless,

You won't stop, you won't let me go,

You call me your possession, your right,

Every hand raised has been cut in the name of marriage,

Every voice shouted, has been muted in the name of marriage,

Now you're squeezing my mouth shut and biting my skin,

You're making my lungs bleed and my body is paining,

Even after you leave me, my eyes won't open,

The tears will blind the light,

The scars would bleed and bandages won't heal them,

How could you of all people do this to me?
