The Murderer's Wife
October 6, 2016
You're broken
beaten
drowning in shame.
You beg for some help,
but only the devil came.
He throws stones at you
bones at you
mechanical drones at you
until moving feels like a trap.
You're bleeding
screaming
pleading for help,
but you're ignored like the leper with his throat beside a knife.
You beg
and beg
even offer up your life,
but not even a god
could help the murderer's wife.
