I laid there
Pale skinned
Defeated
Crying
I stood there
Looking down on her
Hoping she moves even a
finger
Blink a second
Move a lip
She laid there
Such beauty I have never
seen
Close to God she must have
been
That smile she never
shared with the humans
I laid there
Hoping she'd say a word
Murmur a word
Hoping she'd see me cry
Hear me cry
So I called aloud her name
Grabbed her by the
garments she wore
Slapped her in anger
Hoping she'd feel
Even anger I would
appreciate
Never did she move
Soaked in blood she laid
Such tranquility
Such peace
She laid there in utter
rest
In her indefinite bed
I stood there
Tears could no longer save
me
The truth was she laid
there
Blameless
Wounded
Lifeless
I stood there
Dressed in garments of
despair
Wrapped in colours of
failure
Loneliness befriended me
I laid there
Orphaned by greed
A child without a mother
