Woman Wretched

Only she isn't.

Woman, wretched.

Eternal victim.

She cries alone

For what she cannot see.

Paranoia, conspiracy, clandestine

Revenge,

She suffers alone

For what she cannot see.

Son, daughter, mother, father,

Brother, sister, if only by law.

All cry for her, alone,

For what she cannot see.

Days gone.

She could have lived them.

Yet she cowers alone

For what she cannot see.

Disease gradually

Corrodes her mind as her skin,

And she dies alone

For what she cannot see.

Woman, wretched.

Eternal victim.

Alone.

Only she isn't.
