Michelle

As I knew it would
Do it did 
Unexpected 
Yet predictable 

Her head was down 
Dressed in that of pavement and concrete
As her soul 
Represented in greys
She regrets
And I will that weight to be heavy

My hair doesn't grow
The scar is smooth and inane and quietly empty
The scars don't bother me
But I dream of revenge
Several it cold
But that is dreamt not acted

Then I saw her
Keep that head down 
Shuffle on
In my quietness you escaped
But I. Your guilt you're dragged down 
Not my hands but yours 

Breathe in my ether
It will always be upon you
