What's My Fault?

Hollow faith caress bruised esteem
scars hidden underneath the seam
night reverberate silent screams
aborted dreams,aborted dreams

fractured by lustful invasion
modesty lies among treason
Why victims are pinned as reason?
unfold questions, unfold questions.

drenched in shame, locked in guilty vault
she gulps down his ruthless assault
striving for answers, 'What's my fault?'
When life will halt, when life will halt?

Poetry Type - Monotetra
The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four 
lines in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight 
syllables. What makes the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line 
contains two metrical feet, repeated. It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many 
as desired.

Oh, Rajlakshmi, this is something new for me, this monotetra. I shall have look into it. Monorhyme is alright but what makes it Monotetra? perhaps the syllable count...
