Sakabattou

A betrayal

An aberration

A reverse-edged blade

Crafted to commit harm

But not to kill

My nature shaped by the forge

My essence changed by the fire

I am flushed with the strain

Of surrendering the desire

To be reddened with blood

My face is turned

Towards my master

Each moment his breath

Clouds the steel, I shiver

I am tempted and I worry

That I will be his mistress

That he will kiss me

That I will taste his blood

And not the enemy's

And that I will enjoy it.
