The failure I am

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
The failure I am. There is no sorry the is I messed up. She is buried and six feet under. I see her eyes cast down rarely looking me in the eye. What we had never to be seen again as I burn as I see her die again and again. There is just me screaming in pain my soul in such deep pain never again to love so easy to love. To live alone no job no wife or child. To feel like you body a cell that you are consigned to suffer. When I failed I expected a man with a gun to finish this cell this body. Life enprisonment no porole for good behavior. Just a failure.
