to see you tremble before me satisfies a lifelong urge to dominate to annihilate
to stand above a sea of corpses surveying the vanquished dead to be the one whos impulses dictate who should be followed and who is led
recoiling from humiliation and the transference of condescension deepens an abyss which beckons and with a life of its own could absorb us at any time do I dare to feel and soothe the wounds created on this search for absolution or will I cross that distance that shortest distance between vulnerability and aggression
bloodshed
for as I tremble before you smothered by a shadow of a human as god I quench your thirst for vehemence with my blood we write history in skin and stone on pages carved of steel and bone and from my veins the ink which flows archives a subplot of revenge intolerance: the noose that chokes these final words from my throat "i'll make sure that I'll never be a victim" scars burn the eyes of strangers reveal a surface of despair reflecting skinned knees and desperate pleas amid hopes for clemency as we become the enemy
you see me trembling I soothe my soul by breaking yours you create evil where none existed before i made you feel less than you are you ignore me I always expect a different outcome we are unable to fathom that in our shared terror is the true redemption
to deny you to absorb you to embrace you to destroy you
