BACK AGAIN

She was going up

As he was going down

So he came to her

He came on her

Made her his

Always beneath,

But never above

She started going down

Pleasured him just the same

His love wrapped ‘round her throat;

Reality seen through a rosy stain

Passion driven to worship

All of the flags now a bloody resentment

Passages littered with bruises

Esteem desiccated; cracked

She needed the pills to conquer those hills

Then stumbled upon a Sunset

A profound new day welcomed her

Belief beget clarity

Knives out, he's always been the man

Cut, clip, nick, gash

His rage will never grip her again

What once was devotion, now a lesson

Know your significance;

Believe in that worth

Always bet on you first
