Swallow tears,
salty taste of love, loss and crime.
Unwinding words that choke,
gasping for useless answers,
gasping for reasons why.
Strangled by stronger hands,
struggling in the moment,
devoured.
Skull strikes of steel and stone,
steal thoughts,
rob consciousness,
starry eyes flutter and roam.
Remember that face,
familiar in visceral gore;
familiar in beauty adored.
Fingernails weakly gouge,
relaxing sharp breaths,
the end comes now.
To dream is to recall,
each name and how they crawl.
Violated -
Bent in prostration,
mouth filled with shattered teeth;
mouth filled with dirt.
Abandoned,
on the shores of their Hell. |
