Lying naked with stillborn faith
he asks her,
“have you ever done this before?”
A hint of sarcasm
traces his lips.
It’s all bullshit you know.
The cycle continues despite your best efforts;
the circle must come full once more
be it in hours, minutes or days.
Nearly always 30 though.
Dammit this is so familiar
yet so distant
because once you know the truth
you can never escape.
Protected something other than the heart-
no beat will be here-
no emotions too
Just a soul, thinned from wear and abuse
absent mindedly praying while the guard pays no attention.
He knows he should not abuse his prisoner
but he cannot help it for he created or was created this way.
she answers “yes.”
Then you will get top dollar dear
until you are fun no more.
