For there was no love.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
His touch shot her arm
like frostbitten tingles
She walked the floor
Trying to mingle
His footsteps close
Almost shaking the floor
Beneath her heels
There eyes met
As fear dropped bombs
in her tightening stomach.
She did not look twice
She escaped to the garden
Sitting in silence she noticed
Blood as her hand had brushed
the fence of nails
She lay down
Watching the branches
Sway in the night sky.
Wondering how long to wait
till she died.
