Cass

She screamed in the silence, heart split in two,

Wounds he ignored, though he once swore them true.

Her hands begged for shelter, her voice shook the air,

My cry for help was heard for no reason,

Just a quiet call - my life’s small beacon.

No one could hear, no one could see

Time stopped when he took her body and left her there,

Alone by the river with nothing to wear.

He took everything she had, then turned away,

She tried to battle that hunger for a drink,

She swam, she floated, but started to sink.

She resented herself for giving in,

You placed your snake in the garden of trust,

Only one of us burned with lust.

You fed the serpent on her flesh,

No one would notice if she floated away,

No hand would reach out - none to help her stay.

She fights hard, but she does so alone,

While the world sleeps, my heart still aches,

I’ve carried more than one soul should take.

I’m tired in ways that sleep can’t reach,

Cold words,

Sleepless nights.

Turning over,

But you’re the one who tore her apart.

The long days and long nights,

He was there for my first breath,

I was there for his last,

So many memories that replay from the past.
