POEM BY:

Stacy Barnes


 

Spilt milk.

Two can be friends, when one has married, and the other was just raped 
Neither poses a threat, wrapped in their yellow police-tape 
Still she is lonely, and confides in a man of God, too old to understand 
Unable to feel her tears, when they are so different from this man 
And the girl with even more pain and is almost her sister 
Battles on in a crystal ball, that foretells the younger one's future 
The father know no truth, of how his girl lives now 
But then he never gave a damn anyhow 
And those she works with, dip pointed tongues in poison 
Stabbing down her confidence and self-worth without any reason 
Gossip tells her little tale, the stigma that sums up what she is 
So many issues, she should've been in show biz 
It's fate's female tragedy, that coils away in sole mourning 
People in her life still too far away for reaching 
The semi-warm words that yet make her sulk 
She laps up eagerly, like a hungry kitten put before milk 
But it isn't good enough, and cannot make a silvery soul unbent 
When after all, the girl is lactose-intolerant.
