Poetry: Girls

by Collin Reed

Created on: October 24, 2008

This man is an animal
motivated purely
by his own primordial
instinct

Not the instinct to procreate
rather the urge to take
possession of another
without their permission

Worming his way into her
delicate psyche
he penetrates her mind
first

Winds his way through her
limbic system
leaving her aching
wanting more

Then he moves down to her heart
and takes his meaty grasp of it
squeezing, pulsing he takes control
she concedes

With mind and heart secured
he knows
he has control of her
sex

Then - and only then
he releases his grasp
she falls disconnected
through space and time

Where is he
the one who will save her
she is lost
scared

She begs him to take her again
into his possession
being owned feels safe
she mistakes this for love

He obliges for he knows
she will reward him
passionately
with great fervor

And he will do this
catch and release
until she is weakened and
torn apart from her own soul

She is wholly dependent
utterly shattered
He won the prize
killed the big game

Job done
he tosses her lifeless empty body
on top of the pile
with all of the rest
