And as you scream
It echoes in the ringing silence
You grab the blade and and while you slice
Oh, you can finally breathe again
You can taste the pain
Taste the freedom
But too soon it all goes away
While you just lie broken

~r.w.

Never let it be said that she was easy
Her red lips might tell a tale
Of many a summer spent
Beckoning eager men
But at night is when -
                                   her face pale
                                                  her lips white
                                                           ­                her stomach hollow
       - She quietly lets herself break
