Part Tragedy, Part Comedy Poem by Robin Bennett

Slipping deeper
into silent madness-
winds of change
gust a final gasp of chill
Waiting to-
engulfing my mind
Biting air now licking my skin
emotions now buried
in a white snow white lie-

A well known stranger
eclipsed my mind-
lying to my fragile heart
He nurtured deceit as I
choked on my fading pride

Caught in your silken lies
my character dies-
now a footnote in a play
part tragedy part comedy
you left me with cryptic
recycled words of
your quill and paper
