I Have Seen Poem by Greta Zemite

I have seen man in the face of the darkness
Devouring away within.
Poking through his shallow skin, the

Veins fat with liquor drowning soft moans.
Fueled by loneliness.
Bathtub's weight in strained distress, like

A child yearning for the years to come to pass.
Innocence is deflowered,
By the scornful looks of both soiled hands.

She clasps her teeth onto her heart, her soul,
Til the blood runs dry and the warmth is cold.
Remain forever young and scarred
The old is changeless, forever, far.
