    This poem explores themes of self-destruction, masochism, and desire through vivid imagery of being torn down and tied up by an unnamed other, experiencing both pain and pleasure. The speaker describes being left dangling and wild yet still alive, feeling sensations penetrate through every open wound and mouth as they seek different extremes of feeling, including life, sensation, numbness, death, and nothingness.

    Tear me down

    from the inside out


    break down my bones,
    lacing sinews
    between your fingers
    like ribbons
    tie me up with tongues
    and leave me
    dangling by the hook
    of the night
    taunted and
    wide eyed,
    blinded and wild
    still alive
    always, still alive
    the pain and the joy of it
    penetrates me,
    snakes
    like tentacles
    through every
    open wound
    every open mouth
    seeking life
    seeking sensation
    seeking numbness
    seeking death
    wanting forgetfulness
    and punishment
    wanting to come
    wanting to feel
    wanting nothing
    and nothingness,
    the greatest Lie
    I am the demon
    devouring myself whole
    and you are the deliverer
    spitting out my bones
