Silent Kisses

Grasping out with sharpened steel
Holding back that hated squeal
Hoping that my wounds will heal
These hands are not my own

Looking quickly all around
Seeing spatters on the ground
Feeling ropes that keep me bound
Fear kissing at my obvious pain

Reaching out to maim myself
Putting life up on the shelf
Thinking of no one but myself
Knowing the power of my hate

~*~

Draped in delicate splendor
Wrapped in shining silver
Diamonds all aglitter
Such kisses against my heart
