SCARIFICATION
Pure as evil, stripped for
shaming
Hold me dear. My perfect twin.
Cold and sexless, angel child
Caress sweet skull, dark dreams within.
I am you. Perverted and refracted.
Spectral, death-white, you are me.
My acolyte. Lamb to the slaughter.
Keep close, my love, testimony.
Embrace me, know me, through the mirror
Bleed dry what is, what cannot be.
I pluck your truth from eyes of crystal.
See virgin whore: atrocity.
Join flesh with flesh in stolen midnight
Feel virtue shatter, drown your bliss.
In consummation, sister, brother
Red on black in shit-stained kiss.
Come. I will hurt you, my sweet lover
Bind you with tears on bended knee
Abuse you, use you, paint you broken
Taunt you with my veracity.
Come. I will scar you. Mark you sacred.
My sideshow bitch, my concubine.
Kill you, devour you, resurrect you
And in remaking, call you mine.
And when, prostrate, you call me master
Sex as shallow as the grave
I will submit. Hand you the glory
And whisper hoarse: I am your slave.
