Darling,
Who is benefiting when you accept suffering?
Are they happy to let you suffer,
or does it cause them anguish?
If they are pleased with your suffering,
Are they worth your Devotion?

Hold me at sword point if you want,
it doesn't change my perceptions.

Fate will have its day.

Instability

Painkillers are nothing new,
but these round green pills, this minty white one,
slow a different kind of pain for you.

The first time I had a blood orange,
I was rather disappointed that they don't taste like blood.

I would be a tyrant if I could, I'm stronger than you.
But... you maintain control,
and I maintain docility for now at least.
Please don't slip up, I'm so very hungry.

“My hypocrisy only goes so far.”
