Angst followed behind her
And promised to solemnize misery
He taunted, as she suppressed the nerves
And all she is, was not all she was.
Her heart thumped at the mention of her name
Her mind, as void as the genesis
The invisible leash latched on her
And her hands betrayed her calm
Eyes watching, pierced like needles
And she spoke each time with haste heightened.
As though trying not to drown,
As though slowly sinking in quick sand.
Oh she fought, but so fragilely,
And she wanted to conquer
But her broken self, she could not mend,
Her voice begged for sympathy.
All she is, she was not,
Angst, he took his bow.
Really good imagery on that. I enjoyed it. Thank you. http://lilypupslife.wordpress.com/
