Dispensed Completely

stumbling earthquake inside hands that grab & take; merciless, the break, the crack of the back bent low. the irony, to grow- innocence is melting snow. (no) is dead, the beast devours the feast, & lies breathlessly fed. time is stumbled thru, a mess, confused, without a clue. trust is a test i continue to fail- my sense is a mystery, lost in the mail. innocence dispensed completely, at will; blood running cold, hold still- feel (the final meal). used & bruised, my body is a crumpled piece of paper, lying in the crease of time.
