Hopeless

In churchyard ground,

The body found,

Sacred, thus profaned.

 

Life sacrosanct,

But not intact,

Mercy, all but waned,

 

But, corpse full-clothed,

No piece disrobed,

Questions need explained.

 

 Faithless heart,

A love departs,

Vows are unmaintained.

 

Love has died,

A suicide.

Hope was unsustained.

Bullying

Tainted, by wanton innocence,

Debased, by folly and fear.

Ostracised, by others,

Unchecked, denial and lies.

Errant words and pointed finger,

Subtle glance and snicker.

Insinuating malice into mind.

Humiliation, a humbling companion,

Unto death.
