Tainted Beauty

I weep like some delirious woman as I recall how you shot out bitter words,

Roaring over my frantic whisper.

Manipulating me into a sea of guilt.

The ache shows on my face as you stare at the pool of blood beneath me-

But drunk with the death of my dreams you see only the boy you think is a man,

never the tainted beauty crushed in your shadow.
