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
