Alter Ego

I am that feeling you felt

When you were a little girl

That made you touch your friends

just to watch their toes curl

I am that twinkle in your eye

That hidden spy

That when his beard touched your face

You felt empowered, that grace

I am those deep dark secrets

That made your knees weak

And your vulva wet

And that touch after, beneath

I am that lust in the night

And even daytime

That makes you angry,

That makes you cry

I am the one that left you confused

Bruised, feeling misused

That throwing the blame

But felt love taking it in your name

I am those empty nights

That still make you cry

Twizzling down

Those empty bottles of red wine

I am those burning joints

Those aching joints

Those stupid boys

Those pointless points

Fuck another,

Fuck one more

I am all of those

Watch me co-join

The collective conscience

That collects their conscious

Leaving them more broken and lost

I am your lust

that instructs you to give into men

for something in return

if not love, then an exchange

I am your love

For roses, and snakes, and cats

The beauty, the mask, the slyness

Yes, you may bow down now

For it is your highness
