Barbed wire passion

Ensnared heart

Tightening its grip

Cutting deep

Shredding apart

Dripping sensation

Darkened persuasion

Ill found emotion

Raging ocean

Gratification of love’s

Tortured self-provocation

Bruised souls

Scared and maimed

Purity claimed

Used

Abused

Ravaged

Tossed

Exhaling pleasure

Inhaling pain

Burning desire

Regret and shame

Scorned for wanting

Judged for refusing

Damned for seeing

Branded for feeling

Wounds still bleeding

Oozing

Seeping

Cries for refuge

Screaming

Pleading

Silence

Silence of dreaming
