release

...the angelic face disappears
reappearing
recurring
disillusionment...

In the sanctity of these walls
I see my reflection throught he window
Small and tainted
Unpure and innocent
Yet begging for the darkness to seep inside

I see, in my alter ego
His presence behind me
Blackness surrounds
the paleness of his face
As his head falls down
His eyes remain cast
on my reflection's stare

A shudder

I turn around
As the blackness disappears
My emptiness remains
Still

From inside my shower's walls
This dirt on the palest of flesh
The water pours down onto tempted skin
I wash myself with his touch
to cleanse my soul

His touch eludes me
Steam burns and heat confounded
His hands caress my breath
And his want bares my nakedness
for ecstasy

Sadness abound my walls
The deepest craving for his touch
To puncture my core
Bounded flesh given to him
Tasting sweet morsels of sacrifice

The deepest wound to claim my soul

I bring the pain inside
I beg for his mercy
Yet what I desire is uncertain
For his lips upon my breast
To kiss close to my heart

He sees me quiver by the fiery light
And I beg him
I beg him
For the deepness to the hilt
For his hands upon my throat
Pulling me at the waist
And raising me into him

The palest flesh to surround darkness
And beg for release

The reflection returns
inside the window's hold
Removing all light cast
View the blackness of the night outside

He is there
Waiting patiently
Surrounded by his strength
The glimmer of his sword
His eyes grow heavy into my stare
As the palest of flesh disappears

There lies a bloodtrail in his wake
Yet I cannot fear falling to his feet
Never releasing my stare from his eyes

His sword
Raised
And I beg
For Him

I reach my hands behind
Closing my eyes for him
And pray

His sword strikes
lightning across the palest flesh

He disappears
I am left alone
again
The tiny scar across my heart
My own knife in my back

Praying
Praying
Praying he released me

Wow! I agree with Doreen on this one. Dark and disturbing.
Be well
