COME TO ME

Oh the pain I endured from those three little words
I thought were as sweet as honey in my mouth
the moment you first whispered them so softly,
while wearing your bewitching veil of vulnerable innocence.

How could I ever suspect or fear
that beneath such an angel's mask and charm
there lived something incredibly hideous, brutal and utterly evil,
beyond any terror that I could ever imagine?

By the time I realized the brutal horror of your inner reality
your vile spell made what you said turn into an acid,
burning my insides with rage from your wicked ways
as you continued to seduce me with them over and over
making me a helpless slave to your ever desire.

Mercilessly, you continued tugging upon the wires
you have attached to my heart,
ripping at my spirit like there were barbed
forcing me dance like a puppet at your every whim
feeling totally humiliated,
uncontrollably trapped in your abusive web of deceit.

Alas,
do I wallow in your enslaving cocoon of black magic addiction
ever regretting the first time I heard
those other five words from you,
"May I take your order?"
