Djinn

Diluent quarantines
Codependency writhing under beds
Play this game with me
I might as well have begged

Let us desecrate this
Destroy new old comforts
Waltz on its grave
I might as well have begged

Show me a self of mine
With strings plucked
Use those bleeding fingers
I might as well have begged

Be the foretold knight
To leave my throne broken
Better than that court jester
I might as well have begged

Grant me this wish
Override bitter torments
With sweeter sinuous ones
I might as well have begged

In the desolate aftermath
Leave me on barbed wire
Crawl to her and heal
I might as well have begged

All this almost begging
Must you always listen?
