Description
I want to be tamed;I want to be maimed,
but more than that
I want to be saved.
To bask in the light,
I blot out the sun.
That death velvet voice
weighs dead on my tongue;
it’s all the magic
that I stand to hold,
but a curse is a curse
and a fold is a fold.
Cling to the dead
for fear of the living.
I strangle myself
with the look that you’re giving.
I’m dragging a leash
and it’s catching on stones.
There’s rust on these chains
and it’s chilling my bones.
If you want me to hold,
you should grow out your nails.
Carve your name in my back;
let the ink run in trails..

Is it creepy or sexy? It's just plain weird to me.
It has the rhythm of a nursery rhyme though. Sort of.

Hehe..it's sort of both, which I like. I had a few verses at the end that I omitted because I thought they leaned the poem too much towards sexy.
