How Desperate Is Desperate

Sorrow tumbled into words, an antidote When sobs choked; venom in the throat. I hear in wrath, again, his disgusting gloat. Follows, her muffled groans upon each smote. In a while, she whimpers in an awesome note. Probably, in pain, bearing his lusty frote. I lay jack-knifed, as ever, a vain mote. Tears overflow in such relations of fraught. An unwanted witness I’ve been, still zygote. Begetter that blessed me with love drought! Who cares? My soul long for draught. No more! I’m tired of being the scapegoat. I pray to thee, free us of this cutthroat. In time please, send us thy lifeboat!
