Punishment
Death deformed in light of day
In crumpled soul abandoned lay
On ground’s cold skin as soft as steel
That cuts so deep with blood to heal
Red soul runs so far away
Predator turns at once to prey
The cause of pain now feels the hurt
Of stabbing words that cut to heart
The final act to end the pain
Of ex-friend’s words like acid rain
Escape in blood to freedom get
And force his mind to life’s regret
