Cocoon

Crawl out of my skin,
Back into the cocoon.
Silken strands veil my emotions.
Barely escaping your touch,
Hands tempered in time.

Yours is a kiss that was never meant to be,
Lips of a wanted thief.
Flames have been ignited,
No embers left behind.
Smoldering clouds blown aside.

Harassed by your words,
Licking my ears with a dry tongue.
Leave your leash on the floor,
Keep the collar around your neck.
Left you tied to the post for days,
Begging for release.

Camouflaged demon,
Angel by your standards
Unable to see through my disguise,
Paralyzed by my sting.

Break free from the cocoon,
Wings extended.
Witness my true form,
Stand clear of my fury.
