I am exposed.
My shadows have fallen.
I am at your mercy.
Your words destroy me.
Your image perverses me.
How can you scratch my skin
When I bare no flesh?
You reach into my chest.
Tugging at strings that should not be...
Unfettered
Cold Flesh torn away to reveal warmth.
You have torn my guard down.
What will you do with me now?
I pace my cage awaiting my release..
Why have you...
No.
How have you caged me?
You were my muse.
Now I stand locked away
As your own personal toy.
To be pulled out when you
Please.
Yet I Do not fight.
I do not struggle.
Relaxed in wait of..
Your attack.
My shadows have fallen.
The light casts across my eyes..
I cant see beyond the bars.
When did Prey become the predator?
When did your words leak into my soul?
When did mine lose their effect on you?
Perhaps my bindings were not tight enough..
Slickened with blood and guilt,
You have escaped...
Exposed...
At your Mercy.
This is a role reversal...
Doesnt fit in my scheme of things.
Step back...
I cant find my shadow,
where are my walls?
Where is my protection?
Protection against you....
