Love Me Do

***This is not indicative of my feelings now.  Picture is one of mine taken the Summer of 2017 @ Matlock Beach Manitoba.***

Seated upon the broken pier

waves crashing

darkness falling

upon my heart

soul

mind

wrapping me once more

in nightmares

I cannot escape.

I thought that I had beaten

eradicated

destroyed

the demons

weeping

at my feet…..

tangled in my hair…..

yet…..

still they cling

suckling on the blackness

as at a bloated breast

feeding on my pain.

Wan

pale under the moonlight

a ghost upon the night

I can take no more

for my demons?

Commit to me

as no man has done

wrap me in taloned arms

claws easing beneath the skin

bleeding me

of fear

of passion

of desire.

Seated upon a broken pier

waves of blood roil before

I have lost.

Theses demons

shall always have me.
