Sweet Venom

Poetry, recurring dream that I have been having for many years.

Taking me night by night,
Committing every sin.
Making my nightmares your fantasies-
acting out what's never been.

Never knowing if tonight's the night,
I fall asleep, soundless I wait.
Anticipating your arrival,
every time I sleep, I'm bait.

Your eyes are midnight,
an endless maze of pitch-black hate.
Demons that I must confront
every time I walk through Hell's gates.

You rape my soul, my dignity...
corrupting me in my most peaceful state,
yet I accept it knowingly every time
while my body's asleep and my mind's awake.
