Wrestled to girl
I wrestled you down
Girl
Into woman
I grew your thoughts for you
Lifeless of the party
Monotone
You vacuum expression
And drain me,
Exhausted
Stop
I gave you emotions
Give me energy
Any kind just give
Give and give
I must drink
Always thirsty am I
But I drink for you
So what’s this lull in your throat
Dip in your tone
Crack?
No
You can’t hurt
Lurch
Because I gave you everything
Give and giving
I’ve sacrificed
You
Are
Hard
work
Too much
Are you
Who asks
You, too much
Give me something I can-
Cry!
Cry!
Cry!
I push you
More, more
Break into chunks for I
Crash?
Hey, why are you shattering?
You shout?
Punish you!
Anger?
Punish you!
Cry, you must only cry
Fall
Into ball
Yes, there she is
No “why”
Here is why I push
That’s my girl
You’re so pretty when you cry
Mine and my
I wrestled you into love,
Grinch
How to love, lover
But I’m above it
Speak it for us
Cry for us, cry
Stop crawling away
Stop reading into
Stop imagining
You misunderstand
You must understand me
I invested much
Come back
I made you such
And now… what?
Wasted time
On a whore
Any loser can have you?
But you’re mine
And you’re so pretty when you cry
Not mine, just dirty then
Dirt on the shoe
Disappointed in you
How dare you do as I do?
Might as well use you
I wrestled my foot
Into your life
It steps, steps behind
Still,
Because I say when
Never you who is you
I control
Say no to me when I
Flummox and frazzle you
Say no to me when I
Romance and dazzle you
Say no to me at your window
Prying your locks
No? I call again, and again
No? I write here, and there
No? I come through your letterbox
Throwing memories onto your floor
Cry!
Punish you!
You’re not mine?
Fine!
I’ll wrestle you back to girl
I’ll wrestle you back to whore
I’ll wrestle you back to dirt
Tell me how it feels
Tell me, please
I need to know
Speak your pain to me
…Hello?

My head hurts reading your work Katerina as I try to place it into a context (probably not a good idea) for me to get my head around.
I can appreciate its intensity. I only hope it is not autobiographical.
Always good to see you on here!
