poem 184

 


Your flesh a simple price, to feast for a dark night 

Then pays the rent, her body no more the different 

Today her torn dress, with thread she failed to mend

Love united, to heal a daughter and fix that torn dress 

But father kept in the dark, a simple conspiracy agreed

Choice a tool, now never to take form, here a knife edge

Now time ticked, then laid him deep to his old grave 

A daughter shame, a worm digging deeper in her brain

It’s shadow twists, claws and consumes all she views 

blood no thicker than water, when white washed away
