abUSE

She
stands naked against the window
-pane, in pain with tears
dropping like wriggling roads down
-hill on her cheeks.

A crimson mark of a hand
-print leaves a print like a stamp
upon her cheek.

He says he loves her.
And she merely continues to cry.
How far will your love go?

this totally deserved DD... such a gripping and intensely sad poem - love cannot possibly survive this. in trying desperately to hold on he has thrown it all away.
