RHYME Poem by Madison Mclawhorn

Please my love, treat my heart gingerly.
Tell me why must you abolish my light?
As they gnaw their teeth viscously.
They laugh at me out of spite.
As terrible as I am, I must confess.
Never have I seen people so vile.
My, they are so ruthless.
Do they think with their head or does it spiral?
Perhaps they learned to think this way.
They close their eyes, clenching their fists.
What really can they say?
They’re too far gone into the abyss.
They close the door, they try to hide.
Can they really sort their lies out?
No, but their time they’ll bide.
They are found by the truth’s snout.
The ones we see as friends disappear.
Were alone. In the cold darkness.
I still can’t see it, though it’s crystal clear.
Another lie, swept under the carpet.
