Once Upon a Grisly Path

This poem is dedicated to a woman that was killed by her abusive boyfriend. The poem isn't about him though. It's about the man who stood back & watched this abuse & did nothing to stop it. We'll just call him yellow spine....Btw he pretended to be her friend too. ❤❤❤

“Once Upon a Grisly Past”

To all the yellow spines in the world
Shut your mouths & keep your tounge curled
Gonna learn a lesson you won't forget
I'm going to become your voice surrogate

You watch like green mold growing
Standing in the shadows & bowing
Slithering like a snake on it's belly
Detected by my third eye, my ocelli

You have no shoulders to bare blame
No conscience to stow any shame
Lurk about & cower in your fear
A slip from my eye is a trickling tear

Telling lies to gain some stature?
All you are is a dream snatcher
You never stopped his abuse
Now I'm left here black & blue

You pretend that you're my friend
As I fight off the blows, try to fend
Go back to the hole from which you crawled
I place the blame on you, I scald

I can't erase the memories I see
In my mind I’ll finally be free
Extract you from my history
Because you don't possess any chivalry
Goodbye to you & a past that was grisly
