My Damned Embracer

[Laura]

you put me on a bloody X without reason
shackled down at your feet for kissing

I will not
b o w
down and be your dinner.

--(fights and frustration feed the faithful fly
and it answers in an aggressive agony)--

I hate the ripening of your soul
crusting at the edges just a toast
>> toast
toasty brown

you have pictures in your eyes

grubby little children
hands like mud
climbing on a star
it crumbles like bread

I can smell you're getting smaller
and you're getting stale.

I will not
b o w

if this is what you feel like dry
it is only a nightmare to see you raw

and in plain daylight you are a mere shadow
an articulate artificial apology

be a master, not a greeter
hello is your goodbye.

--(take the time to tell your tales
an angry ant is accusing apathy)--

step on me to force me to my knees
but I will not
>> will not

b o w

I
will
not
bow down and pray

I
will
not
bow down and kiss

upon a liars feet
upon a broken steeple
and hand you my crown

I
will
not
b o w down

and be a dinner you cannot eat
only feed.

"I can smell you're getting smaller"

"and be a dinner you cannot eat
only feed."

these were my favorite lines, i don't know it it's the words you use, or the arrangement, but you always evoke emotion, with your writing,

I was trying to pick out a favorite part, but that's pretty much impossible. There are way too many!!!

I liked the way you used repitition and alliteration in this. It really brought alot to it.

This is by far one of my favorites of yours.
