The Fear...

as she unbuttons her top,
he now sees the mess
that has become...her
body, lying flat before
his posture,

please don't scream, she
whispers into his ear,
so he does not yell a
word, but in his mind,
he fears the worst,

there are old ones, there
are new ones, there are
clean ones, there are blue
ones, all around him the
world spins,

when does the bleeding
just stop, where do her
scars disappear?
