Body Is Object

My body is an object, use it as you please Like a little girl’s dolly, my hair you tug and tease My body is an object, from my head to my toe Skin like cattle is branded, your fingerprints echo My body is an object, don’t you stop now Adorned with your lips, my body is your vow My body is an object, please have your fun Submitting like a beta, I admit you’ve won My body is an object, I finally give in In response, your eyes fill with sin as it begins My body is an object, a temple for the dead A road lined with misery, there is nothing good ahead My body is an object, I watch you come and go Each time, the pieces of my heart together I must sew My body is an object, don’t think you are the first The past takes hostage, my whole body is cursed My body is an object, I answer at your call But when it’s my turn, you answer like a brick wall

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
