Array ( [sid] => 25313 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => she lay alone [time] => 2003-10-19 03:29:15 [hometext] => girl loses virginity, girl gets pregnant, girl loses mind after... [bodytext] => so cold in that bed
where she lay alone
the warmth of their passion
fading like a dying whisper
a soft "i love you", never heard

his scent still on the pillow
his body, long ago fled
yet, still she lay
eyes fixed on the ceiling
prolonging...

when sunlight lit the darkened room
she slowly rose to face her accuser
Red Dawn sprawled across dingy sheets
a spiteful pool to haunt her with regret

as she cleaned the bed and herself
she cried silently
trying to remember why she'd done it at all
trying to remember if it was worth it
trying to forget everything else

days went on, he never called
and her shame grew ever deeper
guilt and self-loathing spread wide
like a pool of hateful blood on the bed

she didn't need to see a doctor
she wasn't stupid
her momentary lapse of will
had borne unwanted fruit
soon her stomach would swell
soon her family would know
soon it would be too late

eyes blurred with tears
body racked in pain
her trembling hand guiding the coat hanger
deeper than any man would ever go
she felt something break
and she thought she screamed
but, she was never really sure

alone she bore the guilt
alone she bore the pain
only sixteen years old
not equipped to handle the strain

and one last time
those tears of guilt
stained her pretty face
as she prepared to atone for her sins
as she prepared to end her private disgrace

her pale thighs spread like angel wings
both hands holding the knife
aimed at the center of her sin
and as she stabbed deep, three times
her body lurched with pain
and once more she lay
so cold in that bed
once more she lay alone [comments] => 7 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

You never fail to amaze me with your ability to intertwine dark beauty and graphic horror. This is well written with excellent use of repetition, imagery and symbolism that i'm sure will not go un-noted by those who know and love your work. Kate x

Such graphic imagery, such horror, so much intense agony loved it.
But then I love all dark poetry and yours is some of the more intensely written poems I have ever read.
