SPOTLIGHT: Exit Wounds by Anne Göthe


One of a kind

I craved
until I starved
for the love I have
only found
in your
empty words

And within your words
I have found
more warmth
than I have ever felt
in the arms
of another





Weakness

I have no willpower
to refuse your hands
around my neck
any longer
For they are
my greatest weakness





Spellbound

I can’t decide just yet
If I have found heaven
or hell
between those sheets
As I keep crawling back
into your arms
While your hand is
still wrapped
around the dagger
in my back





Stockholm Syndrome

I have found myself
captive
in your arms
Foolishly thinking
they were
freedom




The Bitter Truth

Half loved
or not at all
Doesn’t make
a difference
after all
