He smouldered within my white flame,
where I dreamed he would keep me safe.
He filled me with a sense of shame
while held within his firm embrace.
He feared the loss of his jewel,
with doubt he failed to understand.
His obsession made him cruel;
he shamed my soul and chained my hands.
His smile hid his struggle to trust
while ghosts haunted his diseased heart.
Possessing my body with lust,
he thrust and tore my flesh apart.

from your diseased spirit

A red speck fades where hands fell short
Lipstick Boy
resisted your masculine pressure

Adrenochrome
royalty wandered the dark swamps
When No One Saw and No One Heard
the soil soaked in my hurried hurt
In His Embrace, I Slowly Died
where your love left me exiled

You Blinded Me
from your diseased spirit
Blazed Desire Sizzled My Skin
shaded by an embracing old oak tree
Inside Your Aroma
bruises too stark to hide from the start
