Engage me with your fractured words
that bite and bark within the night
you came to me in whispers, in
your ever carelessness.  Delight
was never on your simple mind
or forkéd tongue for me, but all
the pleasures that I had inside
for you against my judgment's call.

Defy my wishes all they're due
and rather stuff them with the thought
that subjugation is their role
and only purpose.  They teach not
achievement is for ev'ryone
achievable, but instead how
you exist like I just to be
the one victim they will allow.

Deny my budding passion's aim
towards what I had come to know
or think at least was honored and
honorable.  All those who go
down roads believing what they'll find
upon their ends is that which they
have always sought will like myself
discover things are not this way.

Enrage me, poisoned by the blooms
of all your lies and lofty tales
abundant with the vacancy
of promise unfulfilled.  The veils
of aggregated deception
now over my eyes I have spun
myself from thread I plucked from the
misguiding kindful things you've done.

Encage me in your sullen tombs
with walls of torture causing hate-
red, with the stains of agony
and ecstasy.  To desecrate
such graves is not a sacrilege
as one might dare suppose; instead
it comes across as redemption
of causes lost and wishes dead.

Decry my words as childish game
when allegations fly from me
that you are cause of all the pain
I sweat out from excess.  You see
none of all the haunting shadows
hanging me in ev'ry dream i
have, and each waking thought that sees
you watching me wish me to die.

Deem my heart not worthy of you
without more than cursory glance
in my direction to see that
I merely exist.  Just the chance
to see what blissfulness may come
with you is all I asked, but you
instead seem content to rape and
take from me all that you want to.

Ensage me and my kindred herds,
unwitting dupes of lies so deep
and wrongs so grand that only youth
and innocence could stand.  I keep
the image of you over me,
the sweaty brow and dirty face
of all I could not dare allow
again, reminders to erase.
