Mesmerized

Stricken, overcome,
I lay myself down like a dog,
On your skin of quarts crystal;

Unsated, inflamed,
I dispense poignant promises,
Shifting like a kaleidoscope;

Obsessed, demonized,
I embrace my unredeeming fate,
Clinging to what I cannot have;

Enraptured, mesmerized,
I skewer myself on your heart,
Such a lovely, painful thorn;

Intoxicated, possessed,
I insist on losing even more,
Though nothing real of me is left;

Desperate, maddened,
I covet the kiss of your healing blade,
I sacrifice myself like a lamb.
