You stared at me with those eyes
Kisses burned flesh of innocence
Mistook the look of love
Instead defined the prey of predator.

I grew accustomed to your grooming
Habits that informed my every move
Cautiously optimistic then suddenly sullen
You tormented me with inconsistency.

Who are you anyways? The one whose touch and taste remind me
Blinding me with lust and lingering scent on my naked skin
Legs wide apart, spread to make space
For your torturous narcissism.

Deadpan smile, empty eyes
Your head buried between my thighs
I pray as the prey wondering
Will I cease to exist if I was alone?

Did I build it enough? Your ego
Dependent on my youth and vulnerability
Causing stress in the form of twisted words
Lies, alibies, and stolen insides hear my cries.

Shower water won’t wipe away
The damage already done
My heart can’t handle my mind’s truth
Following me fighting ghosts of memories.
