Flaccid fingers grasp a spurned heart
Weary head forcing eyes ever downward
Glance the path of present anguish
Never looking forward
Unable to see where you’ve been
Humiliated by fumbled insults
Too tired to rebuff
Swallow hard the pill she fed you
Cringe at its bitter taste
Then wipe the tears from stone cheeks
The winds change direction quickly
Happiness spirals,
From a smile to a frown
But inner pain concealed by white fleshy misery
Eats like disease, ever consuming, always hungry
On knees to weak to hold you
In the gutter now you cry
For no amount of words can explain
No amount of tears shed can describe
The daily torture she bestows on you
Lay down your head on the ground you fell upon
Listen to nothingness and breathe it deep
Lungs full of defeat bring little condolence
Just a moment’s recuperation
A blink in time before the journeys end
