Bad Poetry Tuesday

 The Ingénue

by [REDACTED]


Pleased to meet you
This is a fine day, don't you think?
I've been here for years
Waiting for my time in the sun
Waiting for you to see me
Am I old enough now?
Hope you guessed my name. 
Have I gripped you fully?
Here, I hold your liver in the palm of my hand
I won't give it back.
My other hand is wrapped around your neck.
I won't let go.
Not until you are ready to let go.
What's troubling you is the nature of my game?
