The Return

Missing image

Key turns in the lock
      so twists her tortured heart

where to hide?
     
      nowhere

echoing door clicks shut
      bottles rattle then smash
stairwell creaks
     
      frightened heartbeat
strangled breathing
     
      faded bruises to return.

    Oh man what a poem!...

    This is wildly crafty... How compelling. I want to just climb right in the picture that you paint here, and carry her away to safety... In such few words... you have captured me...
