girl-body

I love it when you use This body, vessel, carcass, this girl-body

I love it when I spread my legs for you, to welcome you

You enter, break my walls down, unhinge the door, shatter the windows 

You don’t even pray before you feast on this body, vessel, carcass, this girl-body

What religion taught you to take and break

This temple, I created this temple for you

I made a home for you inside this body, vessel, carcass, this girl-body

When did my skin become just skin, a barrier, a barbed-wire fence

My skin – a barricade, my skin – a hindrance, my skin – a boundary 

When did my lips become an open invitation, a graveyard of maybe, no, yes

Of please stop, of not now, of maybe later, of I’m not in the mood, of okay I guess

When did my eyes become blow-job eyes, doe eyes, pretty girl/no words/just yes eyes

Say yes and I’ll make you feel good eyes, say yes and it’ll be okay eyes, say yes and make me happy eyes

Say no and I’ll beg you eyes, say no and I’ll make your eyes, say no and I’ll take it regardless eyes

I love it when you enter this body, vessel, carcass, this girl-body

I love it when you use my thighs as an alter, redeem yourself somehow, build yourself up somehow

Make me take you in somehow, tell me you love me, but what you really want to say is

This body, vessel, carcass, this girl-body

Love it with your hands, fingers around my throat, suffocate me 

My existence juxtaposed by my shell, no soul, no voice, no tongue

This is all I am, this body, vessel, carcass, this girl-body
