on her own behalf

[comfyshoes]

Make her dependent on your lifeblood of venom

Swathe her in your layers of rancour

She’ll appear to need you, all on your behalf

 

Lather an oil slick of envy over her naked flesh

Rub your guilt into her soft downy skin

She’ll appear to absorb it, all on your behalf

 

Rubbish her name in the soil of your own self pity

Create a statue of her to hang your criticisms on

She’ll appear to wear them, all on your behalf

 

She'll crouch in the corner waiting to pounce

She’ll diminish you with your own weaponry

She’ll vanish with a flick of her sorceress’s wand

 

All on her own, behalf
