Sleep with me
and I will touch you
like no one has touched you
and I will make you love.
I will pleasure you,
until I betray you;
let that sink in
for a minute.
Think with me,
we’ll share our visions,
we can reason out
the universe,
until we disagree,
then I will call you crazy
and say all your ideas
are insane.
Strive with me,
in our most mortal contests;
you and I
driving each other forward,
but if you succeed,
I will call you “Criminal”
and have you imprisoned
for all my failings.
Believe with me,
share our innermost fears
about who we are
in the universe
and if our faiths divide,
then I will kill you;
for my God demands
my obedience.
HG – 2018
