Do you ever feel
Love is pain?
That you love more
Than comes home?
How do you cope
With the scream?
The one that claws
And tears free?
That howl of rage
That empty need?
That touch can't sate
Sharp nails rend?
Flesh hangs in ribbons
Teeth glint red?
All this heart tearing
My own hand?
I suffer at my
self same behest.
