Audrey Knight

I am held, trapped, hooked. Caught by the cheek. To pull away would mean ripping my flesh from it's fragile frame. I struggle indifferently against your force. If I tear myself from the creature embedded in my being I will be forever scarred. If I stay, I stay. We are one. I try not to notice how my life has changed. I cling to you for security, and I am terrified of the hole you will leave. I have become adjusted to the pain, the burning familiarity, the way you control my every move. I have learned how and when to breathe. To struggle is pointless. Suicide. You are my god. I have grown to love your intruding, cold presence, and the itch of your infection. I will forever cherish the comfort of knowing you will never be able to walk away.
