Whipped Indulgence

For breakup nonet challenge

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Laid bare my wounded heart unto you

You kissed it with cat-o-nine-tails

Blooded furrows cross my soul

Still I begged for more ... worse

Fierce, you struck again

Struck til your will

To indulge

Sorrow

Fled
