"A Splay of Affection"
A thick syrupy darkness fills my room
leaving me able
to glance into the void,
to relive certain memories,
it's a rare deep shade of gloom
that allows my madness of a broken person
to flicker with just enough life
to know it's real,
it's in my nature to carry the residue
of moments of anguish,
to let it define a portion of my life,
whether by choice or by its damage.
I always see the same door though,
I blink and it appears
right in the middle of the room.
An innocuous looking door on its own
but I can still hear the muffled moans
and the soft movements of naked skin
coming from within the other side.
I wouldn't change a thing
about what happened,
it put me on a path
I see necessary now.
There isn't much left from that moment,
just the occasional stabbing pain
of anger and hatred,
Nothing much more
but a splay of affection.
