I am a shell,
soft on the outside,
hollow inside,
hollow, hollowed
out, not even the
straw man,
not even that.

He has eaten me,
devoured my heart,
bloodied face,
sucked out the goodness
that once existed inside,
inside, inside, inside,
not out, not ever, no more.

A shell I am, a barbie doll,
with delicate skin,
a plaything without spirit ,
shaped neat for his desire,
formed by his control.

Watch me die,
zombiefy, a shell
without a soul,
wholly given to
his will, to his will,
to him I am given,
as a sovereign gift .

And I shall be waiting
at the door to adore
his arrival, and he
will suck some more,
suck and suck till
nothing is left but
this body, soft on
the outside,
nothing else.
