Water on the Brain

by Clara Mae Gregory

Why does an evil, callous demon
possess a deliquescent brain?
GrayMatteredGreenYellowed Stain
that became insane with disdain.
You are The Offal offering them
your victim’s tortured pain.
Sacrificed for your own gain?
I hear her silence screaming
where the darkest secrets reign.
Her truth will exorcise your demon
And expose you to your shame
Or you will share the torment
possessing a deliquescent brain.

Author's Note: Inspired by and written for my friend who has been the victim of emotional terrorism via her poetical expression.
