You stand there
Watching me burn,
Body Shaking
Breaking
Cracking.
The flame burning through
A flame ignited by you,
And the body cracks
With the truth
Shattering into dust
From your lust
Stuck in your curse
To blend with the earth
To seed and re-birth.
and the burning is consumptive
ReplyDeletetaking away no warmth

the stuck in your curse line struck me...the tone was already leaning but that pushed it over the edge...rebirth, rebirth...

Striking poem with a strong ending - the lust, it is an unending cycle. It may break us, or it might be sated for a time, but always it returns...
wow - this was really powerful
