Vision

My chest is hurting in the night
I woke up to your missive
I am impossible love
Is that why you're aggressive?

I am caught up  in your spiderweb
I am your  poor fly?
Is that why you'll eat
Me up?
Tell me is that why?

A hundred times my heart beats for you
I'm in fascination
A hundred thorns you jab in it
My love seeps from lacerations

I woke up in the brutish night hoping for wee words of kindness
The magic genie bottles me up
In acid tears of blindness

Clock beats and bears witness love
To a lack of love and care
How can you say you love me
But give me love"s nightmare?

I cannot live with cruelty
From you I hold so dear
I'm not your pet to mistreat
My love I will not fear

The crack of dawn is splitting me
The pain you cause is breaking me
My aching navel wants to fold in  pain
And dissolve dissolve my sufferings in bloody stains

I may not die for I'm under vow
There are those for whom I must care somehow
Care care care,  somehow I must
But my loving heart gets ground to dust.
For you my love.
For you...
