He eludes the plague I am,
Running, soaring above me in a fear-frenzied flight,
Spitting disgust on my hair, face, arms, legs.
My puss-filled fingers latch the ground below,
Face tilted to his jeering calls, reflecting overcast shadows.
My eyes water in blurred and blinding sunlight,
My voice, coarse and thick: “Come back!”
But our love’s already slit its throat.
This is my contest entry for #skinnywords's contest (silver-ships-fly.deviantart.co….

A very personal piece, as it reflects how I felt in my emotionally abusive relationship. I was the plague, and he, the tormenting "god" above me. I'm glad I'm no longer in this frame of mind, and I hope no one else adopts it while in their relationship. If you ever feel degraded by your partner, please get out of your relationship as soon as possible. Someone who truly loves you would never make you feel less than what you are, regardless of your past or mistakes.

Much love. <3
