She fears this fear
gripping her inner child
Taking and taking
you feast on her
emotional carrion
You see her eyes swollen with tears
You hear it in her voice, the crackle of fears
Defeat
You watch as she shakes with frustration
unable to express
Or maybe you just don’t listen
Yet you feast, knowing she will not resist
or wander
but tremble
Your slave, yours to use
Suppressed and caged, you drain
Taking her for granted
Taking her like everyone else does
Taking advantage
Taking what you think belongs to you
Laughing as you are gluttonous
She is there for your pleasure
Feeding your lust and desires
Your insecurities
It’s in her nature
To give
And make everyone else happy
And you take
You say you love her
Do you?Look out
She is becoming weary
She is tired of being tired
Frustrated with the frustration
No longer willing to just be
Her will is growing, even as you try to destroy it
And it will be too late
When you realize it’s too late
And you will say you are “sorry” and you will beg
And she will push you aside
With new life, new strength
No longer the source of your pleasure
But looking for her own
Pleasure
No longer being feasted on by you
Predator
No longer pretending that it’s alright
No longer
With sunset fading
Casting shadows on the river
Water moving, a natural flow
Fluid and majestic, seemingly calm
Yet powerful
So beautiful
So calming
Often underestimated
Clearly misunderstood
Like her
She smiles, her toes touch the cold water
The sound of the cardinal in its tree
Watching
She smiles
Alone never felt so good
A rebirth
Maturity
A natural change
Her destiny
Belongs to her
The cardinal takes off
Soaring in to the darkening night
Singing
Free
She watches
“That is me….”
