give me more than you
could bite off of this
make it what you’ve feared
and I won’t hesitate to slash
at what time we’ve spent
I won’t hesitate at confrontation
and I won’t try and
listen, won’t stop at lie
tie you down
what could a pair
of handcuffs mean to you
when the question sat on you lips?

trying not to trust my never failed
instinct
tell me, gentle reader, have
you ever sat on the drive home
watching the lights dance
on the granite of his face
and known inside
that it wasn’t going to end well?
it ended unwell and I
can’t leave it alone

god he’s a hole of a man
buried and stone
with the handsome darkness
that I’d come to associate with male
the way he watched
with the heels, five inch black
and the dress that quickly made
it’s self known and the smile on his
face like he’d love a meal of it
you know exactly what I’m
trying to say here
the power is addictive
and it was so good but it
was so bad and
I knew it from day one
we weren’t going to be able
to be adult about this

Holy hell. The way you write . . . god.

I'm just going to say this was amazing, like all of your others are amazing but not *like* them, because it's unique and with its own flavor and incredible and . . . meh, I'll shut up now.

Nice job, twinnish one.

As I was reading this, this line hit me really hard in the gut:
the power is addictive

Well, actually the whole thing hit me hard. It puts into words feelings that I've been having but haven't been able to express...I really see my 'relationship' mirrored back in this poem.

Amazing, truelly amazing.
