Tough Love!

It fills me with ruth and empathy

as you continue to mark my body with cuts and burns,

delighting over my forsaken will to fight the hostility

sucking away even the last few droplets of hope and elation.

I willingly embrace all your tortures and afflictions

for I am engraving my pictures in your mind

like scars of the battle-wounds that never heal

erasing the fortuity of you getting away from me.

I wouldn’t  threaten to kill you at once

for there would be no pain or penance.

What I want for you is a slow and painful death

that you will face each day until you get tired and decide to strangle yourself.

For I’ve heard that memories are the best slow poisons

that guarantee a prolonged suffering,

haunting you at places and times

making sure you get addicted to the anamnesis.
