A Minor, left to hang

her sex, abused and battered
her body left for dead
like tears of pain, her thighs were spattered
from where her opening bled
her rope burnt throat sings a swan song of
A Minor, left to hang
cut short, like imaginary suicide Notes
that are better whispered than sang
left to be found by a hunter
or a child whose lost his way
rocked to eternal sleep by the ropes gentle sway
her broken body courting decay
the bugs will have their feasts there
buzzards and taller wildlife too
though a short rope was strung
for the pale throat to be wrung
her pretty toes still dangle low
begging to be chewed
her glassy eyes stare downward
from her once pretty, now, bloated face
all painful memories gone
as fattened maggots take their place
no more dreaming of a husband and children
no better life waiting, 'round the bend
no soccer mom or stepford wife
for "john doe" stalked into her life
and his desperate eyes assured her
this was the end
Nothing Left to do but sway
succumbing to the bitter kiss of decay
return to dust so that the winds of fate
can thoughtlessly blow her away

Heart wrenching and creepy, yet so beautifully written. You do have a way with words as Em said. Not quite sure what to say about this. It was great, yet very creepy *looks over her shoulder* at least I have my dog here, makes me feel a little better hehe

eek I shouldn't read your poems before i go to bed. Loved the imagery in this very disturbing especially the part about the child who lost his way.
