Infestation

She paces the floor
Soft face in tears
She utters a sob
As the wedding day nears
Throws the ring aside
Gently strides
Into
The room where she’ll live
Forevermore

Girls in white dresses
The day has come
She floats down the aisle
Grasps her father’s hand
Wipes away the tears
And all goes planned

Distressing
Detesting
Infesting
Put on a smile; don’t let the world know

She pulls off her white dress
To wash out the blood
Can’t let him see her like this
She has to be good

Distressing
Detecting
Infesting
Put on a smile; can’t let the tears show

Tired and hungry
But bends to his will
Scars reappearing
She shoves down a pill

Distressing
Detecting
Infecting
Put on a mask; can’t take anymore

Silent and still
He sleeps in his bed
She takes up a knife
And tears through his head

Distressing
Detesting
Infesting
Let it all out; let everyone know
