Poems
May 2017
Caged
I haven't been here in a while
It's musty
Old
A few cobwebs in sight...
Chained
I see her eyes
Empty and forlorn
She cowers
And screeches my name
Loud
"traitor"
"you left me here alone. To salvage for my self."
My eyes cast downwards...
I approach her
Her naked body bruised
She bites and lashes
Screams
Wails
Her body grey from time
I unchain her
She approaches me and straddles me
"I'm sorry" I whisper,
Tears on the verge of being spilt
Wait at my eyelids
And she stares
In wander
In anger
In peace.
I stare up at Myself
Quietly
And I weep.
