Culpable

Written for Ink Empress' 'Unwritten Absence' Poetry Contest. C(ulpa)ble Your unwritten absence unravelled much Disrobing piteously your impure intent Starkly exposing a ravaged soul as such Cocooned in dark yarns of deceit, I lay spent In golden gilded cage tarnishing from neglect Plated with cosmetic veneer for society's consent Yet, you were oblivious to the storm brewing, most perfect Bidding the right time to sound its thunderous dissent NEGLECT, tacitly accepted afore, HENCEFORTH NEVER GOES UNCHECKED!
