They seem stuck
hard to get off
but I must...
Shame hides me
tried to make me a ghost
durian strong
it lingers.
I peel back it's claws
watch it disappear.
Doubt burns -
burnt flesh nauseate
it reaches out to embrace...
I turn away
and let it slip down the drain.
Envy feeds on the bones of love -
bitter and venomous
life withers in its path
Even so
it tries to seduce
it must go
so,
I flung it over the cliff.
Fear digs deep...
drawing blood...
releasing Ethyl Mercaptan...
I almost pass out
but I removed it -
it slithered and slid away
screaming vengeance.
Now I am naked.
Ready
Rebirth.
