Lamentation,
She sat in stitches;
Anguish so biting, so gnawing and real
That she withdrew completely
Truncated to protect her lacerated heart
Necrosis was upon her
Ever-looming, omnipresent
At this feeling, she sensed a wet streak
As it were, that streak was a tear stain
A tear with such acrimony that it burned
She is alone and yet she is shackled to him
She sat and shed bitter tears of gripping agony
As they rolled down her face, they stung
They stung as tainted love would.
