down to the bone

i need a deep tissue

massage.

one that goes back years

into my muscles,

my tendons..

i need strong hands digging

in,

to bring me to tears,

to release the toxins.

to free me from all my 

doubts and fears,

use your elbows,

your arms,

your legs, your knees.

go in for the kill.

go deep, please.

put your weight into

those legs,

the shoulders,

my neck.

don't leave anything out.

bring it home.

leave me limp on the table.

massage me

down to the bone.

put me to sleep,

but when it's over,

don't leave me alone.
