exposed

 

 

she came
with flowing
red hair and blue eyes


exposed to
anticipation

 

now time strays into the sense of anguish

anguish that is as wet as the stormy night

 

try as you may

it starts with a tear
when the words she will hear
on that last day

 

it starts with a scream

and tears become as a stream
and tomorrow is a year away

 

wasted time seems like years

those that taste the tears

salty as the sea

a sea that starts with a single tear

 

now breathless you lay

willing and waiting

your tongue splits

to speak
of the pain deep inside

 

through the mist and the rains
out of a nightmare

the residue remains
oversee
a hopeless vision


of frightened girl
holding onto nothing
