I see
gagging need
lupine,
limping lowered being;
caste-less cast-off
into the unseen.
Not for this world
I am no girl,
not flesh to breathe
not soul to grieve.
I must believe
in something --
see
this strangling voided
shape of me,
hopelessly
becoming darkness.
Crack and freeze
the lightning flash,
stun-silent sound;
losing control,
eclipsing now.
Paring down
to cold skin and sky,
stagger my eye --
Magic is not mine.
Split me wide,
burnt away,
but I don't die
or wonder why --
No will to fight
when forced to kneel,
brought to heel,
bloody grey and gaunt as steel.
I'll be here
once again.
You win.
