I Promised Myself Gentleness
I promised myself gentleness
but
I turned you inside myself
like a serrated knife
I let the blade pierce my heart
and I looked into your eyes
and smiled
as the blood stained my dress.
At least you were touching me
at least you were holding me.
It hurts
but
at least your eyes are on me…
I promised myself gentleness
but
one look at you
made me forget all else
The first smile you gave me
was dripping lust and sin
and I forgot all else
All I knew
and all I wanted to know
was you.
