Kiss me,

       Touch me,

             Say you love me,

Want me,

       Need me,

             Please don't leave me,

Kick me,

        Hurt me,

               Don't desert me,

Scatter my ashes,

         Ignoring my thrashes,

Confidence crashes,

         Taking your lashes,

Burning the matches,

           Watch as it catches,

Opening latches,

           Fleeing attachments,

Two years now wasted,

You liked how I tasted,

You used to kiss me soft and tender,

 But now your punches are

replacement,

         Why did I stay

While your fists would play

        Rearrange me like clay

My fear falls away,

         That kept me at bay,

As I see your figure slumped,

         Hair in disarray,

Why does my heart ache to kiss

         your pain away,

when I'm black and blue because of

         the games you would play?

"Baby, please stay,"

Is all you can say

As I hesitate

In the doorway,

With no place to go,

I cry in dismay

As you lead me back,

I begin to pray,

Tears slide down my face

Turned ashen grey,

As I wonder if God will listen

To the devils wife today.
