Sordid Secrets

I am

Half torn

Gone.



A prayer said out loud

For the one

That never listens



Asleep I may have been,

Never once tripped

On my reluctant feet



With the morning I am awake,

In a bid to fathom

This phantom



Still I try

To untie

Knots of a sordid secret



A slice of time

For your crime

Tomorrow



Now,

Bed ridden

From your radioactive lies



I am

Wrong

Torn.
