I Can't Believe He Killed Her (Free verse) by jessicazee
The frown on your face,
long day, hard day, a rift with your dad? Then
today in the paper I read
a little Metro headline:
âMan Arrested in Death of Womanâ
I think thanks
for telling me before it broke,
99? The hundredth homicide
of the year, a girl breaking
up so gently, so slowly,
her chops slighted so quickly.
I see her family photo from TV
all the time, just washed her hair
and so fake, the happy! Someone
please help your sister, donât trust
the flowers, the âsorryâs,
the ghosts cannot talk, a letter
you could not send should be writ,
a seatbelt, that one last call.
