• My tears streamed down,
    The colourless cheeks -
    And their no -longer trembling lips,
    The captive animal within
    got released from her cage.

    No more burning desires.
    Rusted metal filled my nose
    Her face so pale,
    It frightens me to behold -
    What a monster I have become.

    My fingers desiring,
    to stroke her face
    and tell her I am sorry
    But now it's too late.
