he is terrifying to look at. he has snakes for
hands. i have felt them hissing inside my mouth
his eyes are scared rabbits. they dart
from side to side. i was as helpless as they when
i looked into those eyes. and he was once
inside of me.
i keep reminding myself.
he was inside of me.
i let him in. i helped him out. you cannot trap
something like this forever. but what sickens me
is that i wanted to. i wanted to trap him. because
i am as terrifying as him and this
is what i live for.
