Lamb To The Slaughter

Take me
Leave her untouched
Innocent
Let her never know
Betrayal

Baby of mine
No, not mine - still
Born in my bed
Shared the same womb
A decade apart

Take me
A willing sacrifice
If she will be safe
From your attentions
Betrayer

Take me
Does this make me
A complicit participant
In my own
Destruction?

Sometimes
The lamb knows
Where it is led.

You must have a really strange sex life

What does my sex life have to do with anything, sir?

Euclid's ontheBlock said...

I can smell it through your writing. Yes, you are a weirdo, Red. A deviant, if you will

That was depressing, D.

Jezebel said...

Yeah. Probably because I was depressed when I wrote it.

So much for hating poetry. Way to go.

Jezebel said...

I still hate it.

Liz S... said...

Right, right. You keep telling yourself that.

By the way, nice use of a title of a short story by Dahl. (No sarcasm intended)
