Word of the Day Challenge #82-Untitled Poem

Undulating

sinuous writhing

move around

without touching his body.

Feel the heat rise

sense the lust

grim smile upon my lips

if only he knew

if only he listened

he would not be here.

They come

all shapes

all sizes

stories different

yet always the same.

Abuse

theft

life of poverty

life of pain

life lived

over and over again.

So easy to lure

to find evidence.

Given a warning

anonymous

go away

change the behaviour

or you will die.

Laughed off as a joke

shrugged off as a prank

none of them listened

I will be frank…..

I live for those moments

when blood first wells

tang of copper in the air

smile upon my lips

flip of the wrist…..

flit around

gazelle like

stab in

slash out

criss cross

drop dead

how I feed my hatred.
