Gouged Eyes

Ruby puddle
Flooding cornia
You feed off your own satisfaction
as much as you feed off of him

Violet trickle
Streaming down
You have finally numbed him
He no longer wakes to the metallic taste

Bleeding Iris, defiled eyes
Possessive denial burning into his eyes
Capillaries collapsing
Reddening, obliterating

He stares into his reflecting pool
To observe his newfound "God-fearing" eyes
The rippling face staring back at him
is your invading countenance
The arms of the cross have embraced him tightly
hollowing out with it's apparent benevolence
Smiling blindly, his old life burning
leaving him an empty shell of his former self

He now sees through your biased eyes
He now lives through your prejudice eyes
He now breathes through your jealous sighs
He now exists through your fucking eyes

So be it
He chose this new life
