Why the mouth

that once kissed passionately

Now curses and threatens

Why the hand

that once provided comfort

That held you and gave you warmth

That shielded you from imminent danger

Now is the danger

That carries the sword

that finishes you off

That chokes the life right out of you

Why the chest where you once rested

Is now drummed to strip you of your dignity

Why the feet

that once rushed to your rescue

Now hurriedly take you to the abyss

Why the heart

that once beat for you

Now harbors hatred and bays for your blood

But why?
