I am an avatar of pain, a stranger in my own skin.
So I disrobe.
Behold!
Bear witness to the fact that where most have muscles,
I have only tears and blood.
Blood-tears.
And although I resemble a fearsome beast, an elemental of war and death,
I weep.
And soon the tears dominate the blood
For I know the truth.
I am a bitch and I hate myself for it.
I am as pathetic as a salt covered slug being circled by starved crows stranded in the middle of a vast and desolate waste.
But not even I deserve such a horrible death.
So I fantasize about...

I am a Cobbler.
And you, a boot.
Together we are a meandering mountain trail.

I am a baker.
And you, a croissant.
Together we are a final meal for a prisoner on deaths row for serial rape.

I am a King,
And you, a hamlet.
Together we are conglomerate of chartered companies joined in union on a quest for riches unimaginable and power untold.

I am a teacher,
And you a student.
Together we are a people forced together by the lottery of life and thrown into an institution that promotes self masturbation and ruthless greed at the cost of...

I see you standing there and I am shaken.
Your Beauty steals my breath, and I am reminded of a lighthouse.
Tall and proud, you entice me to come forth. For your shining light signals to me:
Safety. Warmth. Happiness.
But as I stare across the sea at your brazen, gleaming self, I feel naught but emptiness.
For I know you shall never be mine.
And as I stand upon the deck of my once proud ship,
your promise of security just on the horizon,
a whirlpool forms between us.
It spins faster and faster. It opens up wide.
Opens wide like your legs in my dreams....
