A lonely submissive slowly climbed the stairs
And unto her computer did go
Her movements were slow and filled with pain
Her limbs were stiff and slow
She eased herself into the chair
And tried wisely not to cry out
As her abused flesh did protest and rage
From this latest D/s bout
He had claimed to be a Master
She knew him now to be nothing of the kind
He had weaved his lies so skillfully,
And she wondered, "Could time ease this pain of heart and mind?"
Not just the pain of battered flesh
She knew in a few days that would fade
But the pain in her soul, the shattered trust
The mockery of everything she held dear that he had made
She remembered her ex-husband's words
How he had told her that she was sick
And how she had trusted once her dearest friend
Who then told her this was a disease that she could lick
She thought how at work she stood so tall
When what she really wanted to do was kneel
And how men would ask her for a date
Never understanding how she did truly feel
"I know he is out there," she thought to herself
As she typed her password in
Not a sadist or an abuser, but an honest man
One who would understand the passions I hold within
She knew that the hunt would soon go on
She knew what she had to find
He was out there somewhere... a proud strong Dom
Who would understand her heart, soul and mind
One who would control her
And yet would not abuse such trust
One to whom she could serve as a loving slave
And who would not be overcome by his lust
One to whom she could bend her knee
And not be seen the lesser for
One who would hold her and mold her and make her his
And under whose boot, she could soar
He who would understand this burning need
That made her different from the rest
One who would hold her, stroke her and make her feel safe
Even if she failed his test
"A man like that is worth the any cost"
She thought to herself, deep within her mind
What is broken flesh or promises and trust
If such a Master I can find
One who can fill my days with happiness
And fill my nights with passion and with love...
One who would make me crawl beneath His boots
Or soar in the stars above
Someday I will find Him
Someday his collar shall I feel
Only then can this hurt be over
As in pride before him I do kneel
And somewhere... not all that far away
There before a computer screen
A Master read a profile
And well understood what the words did mean
For he knew that he was a Hunter
and was yet the Hunted, all in one
He reached his hand out to his mouse and smiled
As once again, the dance began
"Perhaps this one," he thought to himself
As he entered the command
"Not a gamer or liar, a head case or whore
But one who will with honesty kneel before me where I stand."
One who would take that which I would give
And give that which I would take
She with the yen to match my yang
Within each a thirst for the other to drink
And so even now, the game goes on
Where Hunter and Hunted are one
A dance of love and respect, of passion and trust
With each other, something wonderful begun
