Bloody Tie

by Mya Meneceur

Cries and bawls won’t save you. I’m immune to seeing 
Pain after all my wife went through. You held her 
Captive for months, then tortured her until  
She bled her organs and soul out. Now you dare  
Lie in front of me, and believe you’re unreachable,  
All wired up in your glass cage. You thought everyone  
Was on your side, just because she put up a fight 
And you’re bleeding too? I won’t be fooled by  
Your vulnerable act. Just when she was getting  
Her freedom back, you turned from her jailer  
To her executioner. Stop crying, we’re all alone.
Just me and my red tie. You and your incubator. 
Nurses called you a miracle, and said we’re so alike,  
I guess they’re kind of right, we’re both assassins now.
