destroy her

   
restrained  


apathy is the mending needle  
that binds one to her master  
   
   
i am the brother of cain  
blood of the destroyer  
the serpent carved into a stick and cast into the nile  
the predator locked within an enigma  
   
   
she is the unwanted beauty  
neglected decadence  
taking damage for protection  
pure virgin mary overproof    
washed up at the feet of her saviour  
   
   
healing her  
soothing me  
i agonise to accept what i am    
   
   
holding torch to earth  
liberty  
i am jambres  
the dragon swallowing its tail  
i am jannes
