Succubus

pick the flecks of my bones from the ashes

that's all that's left of me for you now

you turned green

because I found sunlight

apart from your gray skies

so you magnified

all of your insecurities

and burned me alive

in your mind

and I won't fall for

the trap that you place

in the corn maze

and I just can't buy in

to the shine of the lie

from the glitter and haze

that's meant to placate

or be pulled by your strings

amongst a million other things

that also take

and take

and

take

I poured into you

like so many folks do

but you only gave back

when it pleased you

The jokes on you

I don't need you
