Dazai grabbed my throat and smashed my face against the wall

We know what you are, he sneered

I gasped for air as he slammed my head against the brick mortar again

And again

And again

Bubbles of blood dripped out my nose

Twinkling stars of black and white shot across my shut eyelids as I hit the ground

He had placed his boot on top of my right cheek, grinding down

Mercy, I begged

He removed his boot from the surface of my face

Ripped my shirt off

And examined the bandages around my chest

The bandages were soaked through with blood, especially on my back

Where I had been whipped

For being an undomesticated white tiger

He took his belt off

I cringed

Expecting my back

To be laced with red stripes

On top of my brown ones

Bruises like exploding stars

Decorated my skin

Beautiful, he sighed

Absolutely-

Breathtaking

And with those words spoken into the air,

He tied my wrists together with his warm belt

Covered my eyes with one of his hands

And sank his jaw onto my throat

Saliva coating my skin

His tongue caressed my apple

My heart throbbed

Then stopped

Screaming ensued

Mine

I was the one, I realized

The one who was screaming.

The fabric on my body began to rip apart

His hands, the man's hands

Suddenly, I was naked

As naked as I emerged from my mother's womb

Then, there was pain

Scathing, burning in my

Hole

My hole, was now being intruded by this-

-foreign object-

The man's heavy breathing echoed in my ear,

My throat began to close up

I couldn't breathe

Drowning

In a sea

Of tears

I gasped for air

And sank

Blackness

Swallowed me

As I gazed up at the moon

And lost my innocence

My body trembled with agony

As I transformed

Into a different entity

The feeling of a

Knife

Pulling out from your body

Leaving you broken

Grieving

The realization that you will never become whole again

A white lamb

Formed from tears

Coated with black

Bleeding from its sack
