Afraid
Don't be afraid.
That's the most important thing.
The world around you, she's dangerous.
She can smile and kill you,
Rip you limb from limb and
She'd enjoy that.
But don't be afraid:
You're part of her, a cancer
Of sentience and kindness.
Toy with her as she
Toys with you.
Manipulate, play, and tear.
Don't shy from blood and bruising,
Broken bones and teeth,
And whipcord scars.
Don't be afraid:
The pain will fade
And her respect, it's a price.
If she respects you, your end
May be messy, may hurt,
May take a thousand minutes
To see the brick wall at the end.
Don't be afraid:
She'd smile.
