Recognise me

Perception now distorted.

Tie-dye sky.

A deep darkness recognized.

Spent. She’s got you on your knees.

 

Cry for help.

Because she’s got you.

Sleep.

Say’s she.

 

Fall; say’s she.

Wait; I know me.

Silence.

I’ve got your soul boy.

Don’t speak your mind, boy.

Fall to your knees, boy.

 

Bowed, beneath swung teet.

Spine liquified.

Manhood now softened.

Woman; usurper of high men.

 

Bask in the glow.

Eternal femininity.

Eternal love.

Feel the embrace.

 

And know the cold steel.

Shall you ever underestimate.

 

Don’t make the mistake.
