He lies her broken body beside his bed,
waiting to hear the screams
that should soon burst, from within his mind.
The voices are gone, only a hollow now,
all lost and alone, a single word:
NO.
Her screams, he ceased, not long ago,
unwillingly, but viciously, a single word:
NO.
The last word she screamed, the very last,
her shrieking voice:
No...NO..NO!!!
Over and over, he throttled her 'till death,
over and over, that single word:
NO.
She could not protect herself, he was to do that,
but only in his anger, that solemn word:
No.
