submissive

oh you beg me to breed you 

and bait you 

and pull your love from my lungs

and yet somehow i am left in a bouncing 

scene of screams of seas and ceases to see 

everything you've burned into me

and forced me to believe. 

scar my lines and languish my limbs

i live in agonizing anguish and wait in

 waning vain wit for the

everlasting sunset 

to rise over the dark shadows of the night

and shade the trees from the 

collapsing stars a

and i never believed in falling 

but i believed in you 

i believed in bloody marys and nights we

spend cleaning up blooded 

aisles of 

icecubes you had spewed

and crockpots forgotten–

drink up 

the faithful position takes its obedient sip 

from the glistening goblet 

sip and sink and drown in the sea of bloody wine 

and cherries rain from the sky 

pitted and lemon drops to drip from 

the elder's eyes 

as crows sweep and drink from the candy rivers

flowing with molten lava that catches 

feathers and drops them to the ever blistering caramelizing flame

and the eggshells i had spent my entire life begging to hold me up 

had suddenly collapsed under my frail knees

bandaged and bruised, he sees me

a broke and hollowed corpse standing at the sanded door; 

under the frail light of the sea

i see.
