Freak



Fade away into the backlash
The red stripes
Show diagnol on your soft skin
And mirror off your soul
A constant reminder
Of the need to wear extended sleeves
To cover your wrists
Your safe rituals are no longer existent
Your congruent affairs in jeopardy
Will you be happy in the end
Before it has even begun?
You can not keep your mouth closed
The guilty conscience of self
Your submissive state embodies her
So your engagement with him is doomed
However you long for the formalities
Because you do love him
But he could not bare your lust for her
And he loves your turtlenecks
As much as she hates them
