Slenderly they wrap themselves
around you vein
by vein…
Pouring their sanguine goodness
Wet and sticky down
your throat…
choking you on their
honesty…
Gently filling your stomach
with love..
and hate…
And always twisting…
And warping about…
to bend your soul…
Until the only cry to
escape your mouth…
Is more silent than
a tree…
falling alone in the woods…
And more lonely….
as well…
