she she didn’t didn’t like like to to repeat re p e a t R E p E a T

Herself.

Saying it

(Once)

Was enough

  1. “NO”
  2. “NO
  3. “Noooo

H it t ing th e gr ou n D

with palms sanding asphalt

Metallic taste o n li p s

Soul revolting

FACE ECAF reflecting

In his stoic eyes

Mind SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGG

But voice gone

F l a t

And

Silent

She will not end ]

here

she she didn’t didn’t like like to to repeat re p e a t R E p E a T

Herself.

She should not have to ever repeat

Herself.
