Done.

     you degraded me
         denounced me
         delivered me
 to your demons
         dressed me up
      in decadence
     and drenched me
      in your semen
  I was nothing more
    than a pink anemone
       a decoration
 in your dead sea

 instinctively you doled out
         to me
    the derision
   I was needing
   you dizzied up
    my Disney cup
   and hated me
     for bleeding

 you dug a hole
  I dove right in
and learned to love
      the dirt
you dug a hole
   inside my heart
  and asked me
   if it
   hurt

   dust to dust
   another done deal
   be grateful I
   was on
   the Pill.
