the girl

She comes to me in supplication
I feel I need her more
Her past is a painful memory
The path of which is raw

I feel for her and she for me
Who knows where this will end?
The girl smiles and so do I
At my everlasting friend

We are secure in our little world
We only hurt each other
The insects tend to pass us by
As we cling to one another

She loves me and I love her
But is it really hate?
Can one feel such love
When there is pain to satiate?

The love is there beneath the torture
Every blow is a tender kiss
The darkness takes my eyes away
And I am drawn into abyss

She starts the game with hungry eyes
I look to her as eager
We connect without a word or smile
Our thoughts are not so meagre

The game is long and slow
Like chess without the pieces
Time is never tangible
We are a unique species

We hurt we love we are as one
We mingle in the darkness
She rips apart my very soul
And shows me where her heart is
