Caged

Made of cracked ribs and splintered bones,
You should never walk these paths alone.
I heard her whisper in my ear
All the nightmare things I need to fear.

Red slick flesh crawling over my skin,
Pressing, pushing against my eyes,
Pressure gouging, giving in; slipping inside.
Penetration, slide in and up; rip and tear.

You're velvet wrapped around me in the dark,
Soft and deadly sweet rubbing up against my heart.
Caged between my ribs it almost starts to beat,
Blood almost pumping through that hunk of useless meat.

Lilting voices tell me stories while I sleep
Of the things that slither on the other side,
Waiting to catch us where madness and sanity divide.
And of all the boys and girls they get to keep.

I was mine then theirs then yours.
Swallowed whole; writhing against the walls.
Trapped and collapsed with bone carved doors.
Part of you for evermore.

      You have no idea how hard it was for me to use the word 'penetration' without following it with pickaxe
