    Broken Lady



    There is a crying, jagged reach

    from a broken mind, like a guttered

    flame still burns with fitful rage

    in a pool of melted candle wax.


    But, her monsters all live in the

    past - She cannot be saved

    for they claimed her long ago.


    Her whisper is the soft scrape

    of a pile of bones falling together

    into dust. Like some forgotten

    language the words make no sense


    Although out in the streets,

    martyred, interred, and resurrected

    again, her tones echo with an eerie

    simplicity cries mute tears of

    self-pity


    Like irresistible ocean waves

    batter the ground into endless sands

    moaning all the while, deny me if you

    can.
