660 Seconds

660 Seconds

A Poem by Peggy Olson

End of the night.
It came out drunk, spit it out, tell me what you want
examine my skins and take them all apart
in a parking lot

he loves me or he loves me not isn't the question
here
my frail wrists my chains to your tight hand
anchored round my neck.

But I tell you...oh that night I could count
I never lost track
5...10...15 minutes
all 660 seconds;

I thought of another
who thinks I'm a human
who thinks I wouldn't do this...

But the nice man biting my chest
knows better than to let me flee
"she likes guys with strong arms doesn't she?"

Oh romance...
me
a romantic dismantling
is what he says
romantic debauchery
take it all in
under the city moonlight

Gee
Nowt wrong in f*****g a stranger as long as you don't feel bad about it aftrewards. Had many a one night stand, never to get over a lost love, they were mainly drink related, fun at the time, but with no long term gain...often left with an empty feeling afterwards.
Good morning.

Intense scene here which hints at unpleasant events. An abusive relationship perhaps.
Well writ.
