The man
the man arrives again
swearing and roaring,
he's as angry as a mad man with no intent for amends
he wont leave until he gets what he wants yet he demands more.
the cruel words flow from his mouth like lava bursting out of a volcano
spewing from his lips, brutal and vile,
he seeks to possess everything, to own everything I am,
it doesn't matter what I think
he'll take it anyhow, even if my heart fills with angst
he took what I own yet he's not full,
my house is bare
I'm hollow, regretful
Demolished everything I am, left me overcome by despair
the man takes and gains
always wanting
always demanding
always hungry
when he craves he will attain.
he grows violent when he's not fed
feed the man to keep him content
even if he wants to dig his teeth sharp as knives
deep into my flesh sharp and bent,
I cannot say no,
if do, he will get worse ,
he can have everything
my skin torn,
ribs cracked open,
exposed to him,
he doesn't crave me anymore-
it's my fault.
he's left me-
is he full?
