My friend said they have no voice boxes
And purple tongues
But that’s not true
They actually communicate
Using some very high pitch frequency
That me and her can’t understand

A fierce hot presence running through my veins.
Hands begin to sweat but are as cold as ice.
A tightening sensation in my chest.
Lacking ability to catch a breath.

Leaving me with the inability to react control or even speak.
Pupils dilated
Eyes black as night

my consuming misery
our only communion?
You tear at me even now

was the only true abortion.
And yet I exist for you The Sadist

That part of myself was the
ejaculant of no forethought.
Although we said secrets won’t
lie between us I kept it true
