The trickster twists and turns astride
the innocence he stole and wrecked
in his latest joyride through your soul.
His forked-tongue spreads cold trails
of untruth on your skin like dirty oil,
the sickness of raw fear is resurrected.
Everyone you ever turned away from,
everything you ever lost, is captured
in the liar�s eyes who is now

touching you,
where it hurts the most


your defenses are too wildly fashioned,
scattered, useless on the barbed wires
of abuse that sent you spiraling
into this space�

he knows
just how to touch you,
where it hurts the most


He savours every shudder of your shock,
as image after image is replayed then
strangled in your black mind of oblivion.
He dips his claw in pain and tastes
the echo of a fist on tainted flesh,
the final slam of doors when love died, 
and you left, or she cheated,
then they let you down...

he loves it,
and you,
and he knows
just how to touch you,
where it hurts the most


And he is smiling fondly as
the demons crowd your mind...
So what will you do now that
his tongue is sliding over every curve
and you feel more broken than your heart?
Shall you open your soft insides so that
he can drag you by the entrails
to a realm where manic pleasure
blooms in the destruction of your soul?

he knows
just how to touch you,
where it hurts the most
