heavy sweetness
perfumed the air
aroma of life
and of despair
the sadness in face
quick paced voice
eyes fold inward
to drown out noise
of pain and suffering
terrible memories past
fist over flesh
repeating fast
hurt so deep
grounded like stone
hopes lost
dreams flown
gesture waits still
quite in defence
shoulder raised forward
a ghost of repents
fleeting existence
life's living curse
as container of darkness
and labelled worse
what man does another
those terrible deeds
a haunting of will
of fury and needs
justified in morals
outside right and wrong
manipulate to crush
a life so strong
