Sinking abode ~

Lusted and left!

A hanging roof of a black house
Sealed with thorns and wild bushes
hanging mid air by steel lashes
which are rusted but still appear like forever

that’s how I am designed; like that black house
sealed in your longing desires
unable to move, unable to bear
Alone but still faithful
lost but still found; barren but still growing
motionless but still moving

You groaned past me
covered me in your breaths
you slid away those clothes that covered my waist
you left the desires unleashed and hollow
that’s what you did to me after nudging me & loving
leaving me with blue scars, making me feel convincing!

Bare shouldered, hopping around
you left me alone in this dark shroud
to find you, Oh! My lost crown
I am still waiting for that dawn
and hoping you would come again

Sometimes,
You remind me of my uneven fate
That’s about to drown
in pain!

I love the internal struggle in this piece. You describe the hold a person can have on someone so vividly. I can feel emotions entrapping me. Sometimes being in a position to allow yourself to get hurt is inevitable and sometimes we just let the people we love hurt us because we're just floating vessels on a voyage to an unknown future, waiting to crash ashore or sink. Enjoyed your poem!
