Body of pain,
let me nurture you,
as only I
know how to do.

Let me caress you
with my scarred fingers
because you are my
dirty friend,
to whom I send
missives of
secret strength.

And, to you,alone,
I remain faithful.

And, even though,
unchained choices,
dangle before my bleary eyes,
I remain loyal to you,
my sweet body of pain.
