I WAS ALIVE (til he killed me)

by Erica Hughes - Libra

Hip shaking, rocking, swinging my hips,
licking my lips,
swaying,
laying, playing,
batting my eyes, and wiggling my thighs,
I was alive.
Then I heard a song, sweet tales of love,
blunt lust,
he sang it in my ear,
it banged like a drum,
I was alive,
heart beating, pulsating,
between my womanhood like a drum,
he sang me tales of love,
then drew his lust in blood.
Sweet lies, lullabyes of 
sorrow,
it pierced my heart,
like an arrow,
and sang my misery like a sparrow,
and I died,
I cried,
my tears flowing,
where I was once alive, 
he rendered me dead,
leaving nothing but a featherless pillow,
on my empty bed,
he told me sweet lies, lullabyes,
and he sang it in my ear,
as he watched me die.

Reason for writing:

    To that bad, bad man. . .(you know. . . yadda, yadda, yadda)
