Perversion

By KissTheSkyPH

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

(This is a first draft) As you try to slip your chains around my hips My waist shies from your fingertips. And my coy smile melts into a laugh As the one that once was us is split in half. My plastic grin can’t hide my dripping eyes As I grope my grasp upon transparent lies To tell you all the things you can’t believe. I jump upon my anguish but I hesitate to grieve. Strain emotion from my sentences and dance around a thought, Inventing yet another fight we never really fought. I flutter, manic, through the room to cover up our bases Making sure that guilty whispers never brush our faces. My efforts of evasion have beckoned our disaster And still this dismal omen only has me dancing faster. We’re driving toward an exit ramp we never meant to take And we both can see our love has run from bland to fake. My hysteria tries to hide the death we both already see With a bloody word for you and a razor blade for me.Is it me or does the rhythm seem to change half way through?
