Twist, Stab, Zip
You twist my wrist, like I twist my hair, in a manner that’s best suited to please your stare. Then you stab my back, like the pain that stabs deep into my being. Hunger pains from trying to shrink into the twisted life you live. If I shrink enough, maybe then I’ll fit into that dress you like so much. Maybe I’ll fit that empty, gapping hole that this life leaves you peering into. But as I zip up the back, the zipper stabs too.
