You will return to me.

For at your core
exists the flagellant.

Go on,
test the boundaries
of tolerance;
savor tenderness as if
it were a Summer's berry.

Winter soon will come.

Where then will he be
when you curl foetus like
and weep uncontrolablly?

Return to me.

Return that we may worship
at the altar of bondage,
come let us suffocate each other
in near death orgies unknown
to his shrink's mindset.

Break free my tortured Apis,
from the trappings of fidelity
and return, return, return to me.

I like the imperative sentence structure used here. The second stanza is a fragment, and probably would work better combined with the first stanza/line. The last 2 lines in the second to last stanza don't work very well I think. Other than that, I like this a lot. I might be back later with more ideas and/or interpretations. Just got other things to do now, like play. *grins*
