Acquiesce

I am useless
I am no one

       I give my soul to you
       I pour my blood from my lips
       My lips now a frigid spout
       And you refuse my sustenance
               my submission
               my spirit

I am nothing
I am none

       My love-lust means nothing to me
     Take and have it
     I cannot make a smile
     Let me suffer for yours

I am dirt
I am dust

     Eat me, bury your teeth in my skin
       Take away my flesh
        It is yours, I give it
       Be happy where I weep

I am…

     For you

I am…

     A sacrifice

I am
