The scarf goes around...


Please don't kill me

I didn't mean to interrupt
it was just a game

I'll be a good girl
if you'll just let go

I didn't mean to be late
got stuck in traffic

Let me make it up to you
I'll be great in bed


The hands tighten...


Please don't kill me

I didn't know
that was your last cigarette

I'll buy you more
if I can just breathe

I'm sorry about your shirt
the kids threw in some bleach

I'll buy you a new one
if you'll only let me live


The final throttle...


Please don't kill me

I don't deserve to die

Why are you laughing?
What are you doing?
HELP! SOMEONE HELP!

I LOVE YOU!
I LO...
I...
I...


AAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!


(silence)

In memory of Donna L. (1972-2005), strangled by her husband in a jealous rage

This poem begs an answer to this question - Where does love go when a family is in crisis?

Yes....that's an atrocious fate.

Fuck

I have to deal with shit like this, or close to it alot-damn good piece of writing Sack! Some pretty sad shit people have to deal with and you brought home something I think people are aware of but more need to be!

WOW...

I really did not know

where you were going with

this, though my mind was

racing as fast as the page

would allow, and the words

flowed all to fast..

to BANG ... and .....gone.

DAMN SACK !!!

was not expecting that,

and yet I have felt that before,

a long time ago..

very sad indeed..

I'm glad that wasn't your Christmas contribution. Very sad and it happens all too often.

A tale that brings me to close to my former self. Far too many have not been graced as I have to know the taste of freedoms breath. Thank you Sack for reminding all the cost of possession.

yes..a commonality

*mentioned on today's review

which touches all of us through friendships and family...why is it that one has to feel they own another just because they share their lives...ownership is the biggest reason the picket fence world will never work...great pen...blue

Thanks for sharing this tale that's much too common - if it weren't, we wouldn't be so familiar with it.
