Scarified

Bind me

I’ll be meek

Your look demands

My silence, but

My eyes speak

Volumes

At the maner

Of your violence

Not a squeak

Shall escape my lips

Spread-eagled for your lesson

I’ll tell you all you seek

A gasped, knifepoint confession

I surrender everything

You win

Dark smiles betray

I’ll culpa mea peek

As you survey me –

Your dominion –

I wait with bated breath

Prepared for you

To punish me for my sin

And watch you glory in it

With triumphant grin:

Butterfly kisses down

And across my hips

Sink your knife-blade in

Stay with me as I buck and hiss

Then lick me clean

Seal me with a bloodied kiss

I’m yours;

Your name forever

Scarred into my skin
