Internalized

she holds my hand
she tastes my flesh
her warm embrace
crawls up my thigh

she violates
her peril sits
upon my tender
aptitude

she pierces me
pierces my breast
the warm blood tastes
of emptiness

her blistered lust
becomes my pain
for she is me
my misery

A self-portrait that I think speaks for itself. I've thought about fixing some things I see wrong with it, but leaving it in this raw form is important to me.
