CarapherneliaA Poem by Riley
Almost like a film,
All of the layers are being peeled Each color decreasing in hue Only seeing yellows and blues Dark and grey Pink is non existent Black is consistent Stepped on and kicked Pulled from underneath Just attempting to breathe, But I'm young, what do I know? True to you, all is well I was a fool whom surely fell Breathing comes slow, Ravished head to toe In the only warmth That feels real Please make it go away Why do I stay? I just want to sleep Refusal ensues Groggily I weep My heart is bruised It's all normal It's okay I'm fine After all, Young love was carnal But I'm young, what do I know? Driven by yearning to escape and the urge to flee I've done what was best for me I've made it go away, Why do I stay? Ammonia and bleach Makes its reach to occupy my lungs Engulfing every part of me Boys will be boys "What were you wearing?" "Give him what he wants." "Don't be a tease!" But I'm young, so what do I know? © 2018 RileyAuthor's Note
