violets in repose

                       
my violets wilt in the pale light                        
of your dark demeanor                        
you cast a shadow the sun can't penetrate                        
                       
your glare of disapproval                        
causes me to shrink away                        
from those i love                        
lest they see the marks you freshen daily                        
                       
a grotesque henna tattoo                        
you make sure never fades;                        
         
within your physical theatrics                        
where you star as a madman                        
almost nightly                        
                       
you take pleasure in raping my dreams                        
before i even close my eyes;                        
night terrors darken my days                        
                       
my fear, now your favorite perfume                        
it arouses your senses                        
you harden                        
as i try to silence a scream                        
                       
it comes out a delicate plea                        
you know then, i will lie down                        
& take every inch of your hate                        
deep within my sacred halls                        
                       
as you tear into me with vicious assault                        
i know it will be another vodka sunrise                        
                       
one shot                        
to silence the monsters                        
you released inside my soul                        
                       
another                        
to appease the gods                        
who silently watched as you brutalized                        
the little girl in me                        
                       
i take the third shot biting back tears                        
as i notice with grief        
my violets have all died                        
                       
                       
                       
                       
*this is about a past relationship                        
an abusive one not to be confused with S/m
