Free verse № 193
skeletons
the disease weaves back and forth
through my tired veins
a never-ending battle
the victor is the one who reigns
all I wanted was a hand to hold
his fingers were too cold
his manner too controlled
my heart dropped and shattered
self-esteem splattered
made a mess on the bathroom floor
You turned your head and sighed
ignored the way I cried
out for you but you were out the door...
