Left to Repose

Inhaling fumes
with the tape forming to my lips,
that you have slapped onto my face,
as I lay tangled in the sheets.

My body’s shaking,
hands trembling, I loosen my grip.
Tears stain my cheeks,
as your hungry lips breathe heat.

Your eyes above me loom,
with intense glee.
I feel on my leg that your finger traces
all my scars.

My secrets I had just finished forsaking,
but you took them to gain control.
You smother me with every shriek,
and clench my wrist tighter.

My eyes roll back,
as you finish leaving me as debri.
You think you've given me something sensual,
but you've locked me behind bars.

Now, I’m in this black hole,
where you left me with a seed of innocence,
that I've abated and lacked for as a provider.
So now I close my eyes for eternal sleep.
