Vicious Freedom, Exquisite Possession

To be possessed is honorable, but to be possessively treated is a beast altogether different. From one of my upcoming werewolf novels.

Defined by sight

emotion can be

the way we tell

others we’re beyond free.

I could see his levels

before even he

for red was for hurt

and black was for me.

Not against my being

but against his own fear

that if I were taken

he’d lose something dear.

Once exquisite in sight

his endearment did seem

I was flattered by attention

until the first rouged stain.

Of course, this is as he said

how he excused his reactions

for when anyone neared

red was his ruinous action.

 

So when the day came

that black was near

I found my way

to the place he himself feared

to a safe laden light

where the only possession

was my only dear fright.

My nightmares come back

when I wake in the dark

for black as the night

or as red as the dawn

I remember his rage

if not my own.

 

He can’t possess

what is not his to have

if I am hidden away

under a different name.

Freedom is vicious

it corners itself

deceives the world

and all your health.

Never again

will I trust a man

to hold my heart

under a key so framed.

For the length of acceptance

is far from done

but black is now my own harmonious night

and red my glorious sun.
