I watched you play a silent game of kings, castles and hearts. Never letting myself fall apart. You see, your cheap parlour tricks have never worked on me. Did you ever question your homosexuality?

To hurt and disrespect those, you so called admired. Did these lies ever make your soul tired?

So, I'll take it. Every false judgement, insult and injury. For my brothers and sisters who wouldn't survive it.

I don't have a spell to rearrange you. But I'll settle for exterminating you.

Until that day comes, chain me as much as you can. Casting dark shadows on my eyes and my thighs.

Defeat the light you so desperately despise. I dare you to destroy something as full of life as I.

I take every experience to build myself into a skyscraper. Thousands of feet above you, I will always beat you.

Give me more pain to sew into my armour. Badges of honour encrusted in jewellery.

Makeup expected on my gender, I'll wear happily if the red hides your blood on my lips. Foundation covering up your fingerprints. My dress to soak up the misogamy of your dead lifeless body.

Call me your assistant as many times as you like. But I wont be the one sawed in half or who's body stays in a box, a ditch or a spike.

We'll call it your final act. Our pact.

My hands trickle diamonds, instead of the spades I need to bury you with. I could sharpen these diamonds so that when they reach inside you, I can see your pretty little flesh reflect.

I'd ask you if you liked it when I was inside you too. Twisting the rock in harder, our debut.

How many girls, women, men, boys and children will you enslave?

How many of them will wonder why blood shouldn't drip from their veins?

That their now scarred frightened bodies are worthy of the love of man when you took that dream away?

Call it love, call it lust, call it service. Just remember you're a parasite with excuses that must feed to feel alive.

Prey on those who cannot fend for themselves. Your position in this world so paralleled.

You haven't realised yet that you are the rabbit and I am the magician. I am the one with tricks up my sleeve and a hint of magic on my tongue.

Watch out for me. Your time will come.
