Emasculation - IP Anatomy

When a woman turns us down

we feel it in our bones 

from the skull to the feet our 

whole skeleton

rattles

battles against the urge to

shake off her rejection in an

act of protection

because our virility frowns

when a woman turns us down

When a woman turns us down

we feel skinny and castrated

from the gut to the groin our

whole anatomy

withers

shivers against the urge to

brush off her denial in an

act of defiance

because our confidence drowns

when a woman turns us down

When a woman turns us down

our bones go all hollow

there comes a lump in the throat

we cannot swallow

and back home we wallow while 

our skeleton crumbles

nothing so humble or alone in our

bones

as when a woman turns us down
