the plain
shape of
her legs
encased in black
stockings
walk up
the stairs
hips gently
swaying
the black is a
veil against
the sun
against their
eyes
those fucking
pigs that
leer and call
you honey
when you don't
even know who
the fuck they
are

did you know
that i dream of
slicing you
up the minute
your gaze goes
down
yes, she has
a cunt!
call the newspapers
must get her
picture on the
news
small girl
hunched over
and starving
for affection
a drowned puppy
with teeth
sharp enough
to bite

it is with fear working
through my nerves
that i go out into
the alley or go up those
lonely stairs
alone alone alone
what happens to little
girls when they
are alone in the dark
their scars like invisible
shields on their skin

the sounds echo through
the dark the shuffle
of footsteps
chest tight with held
in screams
freeze like a pretty
little doe facing
down the headlights of
a truck
'run run run'
the primitive brain
screams
but there is that
insidious voice
'you deserve to
be hurt. that's all
you're good for. let
fate carry you away
and death will come.'
it skulks in my
mind with a grin
on its dark face
claws dripping ichor

what happens when
daddy is no
longer there in
the parking lot
dim lights and men
smoking and laughing
outside the doors
'do you want to...'
i want to blow your
fucking brains out
i want to cut your
cock off
don't touch me don't
touch me don't touch me

flinching skin and
eyes dark with fear
the anger lurks below that
killing rage that simmers
waiting for the perfect
victim

when you walk alone in
the dark you want to spit
in their faces
except your mouth
is cotton dry
and your hands are
shaking
'pretty baby, don't be
afraid...'

echoing whispers
'don't be afraid.'
nails scratching at
your wrist loosening
the stitches there
don't hate
you've forgotten how
not to

lies dancing on your
tongue
the taste of blood
from your bitten
lips
sit in the car and
cry

cry until the tears
turn to blood
