you strip me of myself
tearing away the veneer of civilization
reducing me to the primal,
the primitive
i can't remember my life before;
my love
i exist in a vacuum of self loathing and hatred
i'm different now,
pain and degradation, they're constant
fear and humiliation ever-present
you toy and torture
endless games of cat and mouse
poking and prodding in turn
laughter and scorn burning my ears
and when the silence is deafening
and shadows conceal
you come to me in lust and
shame, seeking callous
gratification of your most
offensive desires
such sadistically refined torture
am i even human anymore?
