Emotion
These little drops slide from the soft skin of her cheek
One by one
When she looks up at the bright red monster above her,
the heat burns through her melting flesh.
Those little drops, drops of happiness fall from her now
The frustration is lost within the smile that lies
The little drops just fall to the floor
Eating at her from her inner core
She falls weak.
She crawls,
Crawls from out under the thunder of the storm in her mind.
Lifting her head high, brings up a mighty sigh.
She’s caught.
These drops fall to the floor
Eating at her from her inner core
One last clench of the fist,
One last agonizing scream
One last struggle to refrain from the unwilling pain that has caused her to lose this game.
Red numbs her now.
