Anguish

Folder: 
2004

She cleaves off another layer

This coat reaching scarlet

The tears descend down her cheek

In streams of black

The agony in her face

Is enough to kill herself

"Why not" not fully comprehending

The words developed through a deluge

Of bubbling prattle

Murmurs rush over

They’re enough to kill

This poor girl

Under the anguish of his threats

Kills just to be understood

Too late to matter

Enough for guiltiness to allot

All through the darkened damp streets

The tint of the yellow- orange streetlamp

On the aged mans profile

Who doesn’t feel

Just laughs with bitterness

In the midst of it all
