antihero

by jaydee - Taurus

i would
wrap around 
you like a snake,
squeezing you
into me, working the 
skin of us
together - - i would
swallow you
down my throat,
tasting you flow
to nourish me - - i would
manifest damnation
to guard against any who 
swore you pain,
conquest hells of scorched membranes
following the trail of your
captor - - i would brave
the metaphor
to be the one you love, and wade
like a rabid dog into the flesh of
our enemies - - i would
become
unfathomable to keep you from who
you were taught to be - - 

i am branded and scarred, vicious and strong, put here
with reason, given fierce
passion, handed
bottomless desires, and ordered
to 
be 
exactly what i am.
