From the Waist Down

I only saw you from the waist down at first

My mind had a twisted thirst

I didn’t notice your eyes or your face

Just everything below your waist

Next I saw your chest

I noticed the way that you perked up your breasts

As if you wanted something

Like a wolf I watched intently

I chose not to hear as you screamed

I chose not to see your tears

I embodied all your fears

And I just consumed the part of yourself you miss the most

I came in close

And whispered in your ear

While in your tears

You drowned

“I only noticed you from the waist down”
