Your illusions

How I once loved them dearly

I loved your despicable heart 

What a fool you must believe me to be

The man I was when I was yours, he is no more

I am weak

I am weeping, you know

I think back to the days when you held this body

When we spun night into day beneath ivory linen

I shared this flesh because I believed we were always

But now your lies run free

Taking shape

Crossing continents to stop me before I speak the truth

Your deceptions are monsters

Beasts on all fours

They hunt for me

I can hear them

The hounds are rabid, hungry

I am marked by your twisted kiss

They smell my skin

The skin you stained with the milk of your body

How proud you must be watching the world you left behind swallowed in bold gulps by your little dogs

They scratch and pant and howl in the darkness.

Foaming mouths

Your apologies, rubbish

Distractions so I would not see as the hounds surrounded me

I suppose I always knew it would end this way
