Shhh

KTay

Have a taste

My empty cup

The fallen drop

You lapped it up

You left me dry

Vampiric suck

You had your fill

You had your fun 

You left me there

Upon the ground

Broken

Bleeding

Lost

Unfound

I dragged myself

Up to my feet

My shaking legs

Could not bare my weight

I waited it out

Til the pain subsided

Just a bit

Enough to try

I walked myself

Back home to hide

Each day living

In that night

It will come again

It has come before

Unwanted attention

My allure amore

You said I want it

You pillage and take

You said I want it

I call it

 

Shhh

 

Fingers pressed

Against my lips

Don't break the silence

You asked for it

I do not dare

Disrupt the herd

I dare not say

Another word

No voice to speak

My tongue ripped out

My wings are broken

I'm jumping out

 

Landing

At your feet

 

Shhh

 

Can you hear me now

    A metronome beats in the heart of this poem as it drags you along to its end. It becomes hypnotic and takes over the will of the reader. Very nicely written
