Aftermath

Aftermath

A Poem by Jamie

The Other Half lives,
on a cold dark bank,
breaking through glass,
then stealing away.

The crime was never yours,
but it's your hands stained,
Cut on shards,
that you yourself made.

And the Other Piece writhing through
drops you to your knees,
And it wasn't... isn't really you
but a marionette on strings.

Yes it wasn't... isn't really you,
but it matters none to me.
Your Other Half may have made the stain
but it's my back that bleeds.

Author's Note

Jamie
It has a bit of an odd rhythm to me, let me know if that actually translates or if it comes across tangled. Thanks.
