Daisy Chain~

He loves me

he wants to eat the monster straight out of me

he loves me not like you

he doesn’t understand how I crave the bruises too

He loves me

he needs to rip the madness right out of me

he loves me like a killer

drains my berry blood until my animal grows dimmer

He loves me

he wants to cut the freedom straight out of me

he loves me like a brute

smashes every dream within my mouth until I’m mute

He loves me

he needs to tear the woman right out of me

he loves me like a storm

uprooting me from earth to bend, to whirl, perform

He loves me

he needs to smash the w***e, the Venus, right out of me

he loves me like a hardened god

and in so doing lost it all

he loves me

he loves me not

It's hard to understand some things...why some dysfunctional relationships continue...as if love and hate abut one another...a safe word was established, spoken and ignored...that anything redeemable could be salvaged from snarling mouth and pounding fists...hard to imagine the appeal of the brutal man but you write it with such eloquence in spite of the damage done...that is what makes you stand alone...without peer...in my opinion

[Marianne]

Who else but you, Selene, as a uniquely gifted writer, could pen such explicit immersion into the dichotomy of abuse, where love is expressed in physical violence and emotional rape of the 'beloved', who over time turns the abuse into lies of desire.
A challenging excerpt from a magnificent book !!

[Eagle Cruagh]

We may all have known couples like this,
He is two fisted, fighter, drinker, gambler.
She constantly unhappy with his antics, but
she returns to him over and over again, until
he destroys her and himself, but she loves him,
maybe.
This writer is a mystery, an enigma, a floating
island of contradictions and an interesting and
gifted writer.

Well done.

The first two lines immediately made me think of Lady GaGa; but going forward, the correlation ceased. I simply loved this. I love the anger that arises for the abuser. I love the symmetry between myself and the abused. Most of all, I love the ending, where I envision she finally served up that sweet, cold dish of revenge.

As always, you are amazing. I simply love everything that you write.

one of my favorites from this book...and really, who is it that we want? the one who wants the animal, the one who wants the prim and proper...or one who can manage both

[Jibey]

A tough read, with some violent feelings expressed through the images... Interesting use of the daisy chain...

[Amber Betty Marie Child..]

The brutal truth that some men love like a manipulating demon possessing you down to your deepest everything... I really like the he loves me he loves me not form.... it shows inasence and contrasts with the brutal abuse and the end he loves me he loves me not shatters the inner child femininity of the daisy game to a broken woman.. keep that woman ladies! Dont let the bad ones rob you!

[Robin]

Daisy chain , I love it , brutal contrast with a fateful conclusion. sharp tone with the demands of this thing we call love .

[Art]

The intensity of abuse can be read throuh each emotional line that you express...the finality can be as destructive or as relieving as the abused desires...love is not abuse is not love...
