Summary: This could be a load of crap - not really sure if it works at all. Let me have both barrels!




WHY?

I
silently cry
inner thoughts turmoil
tears burning bloodshot eyes
hot breath searing frozen skin
eyes covered tight blocking intrusive light
abstruse quiet, protecting, hiding, subverting shattered dreams

satisfied weight disengaged, vain, hateful nothings mouthed
teddy-bear gift, coupled guilty secret assuaged
alone - bile infected skirts replaced
eyes wide tears wiped
smile in place
silently cry
I

WHY?
