[Word]

She cries bitter tears...
but like the metaphorical tree in the forest they
fall silently
because she sees nobody hears
nobody cares
that in her misery the apathy overshadows her dispair
the silent cries inside
where hope was once alive
becomes her way of life
to survive another day, but why?
when all she knows is pain,
a pain so deep she goes insane
goes to that place within her brain
where all is fine,
there she resides for a time
until...
she lies still
on the same bed again
still stained in shameful red
where she bled
where he shed her innocense like petals
plucked from her flowering youth
then discarded,shriveled, dead
and again and again
his body pressed against her now
she smells the stench
the smell of whiskey on his breath
her stomache wrenched
just pray it's over soon,
nothing else to do
in this room of gloom and endless suffering
he finishes his business and leaves
so she is left alone again
in pain and hoplessness
she lies
and cries
bitter tears within
