riot in the streets...

ten thousand cries for help, and
somehow hers went undetected...
i sit... i think... i shutter
when they mention her, as if
the words know her better than i did...
she could never be justified -
wrapped up in the soil of her mistakes,
six feet below me... us... them...
and sometimes i can hear her breathing
(exhaling the heroin from her bones)...
and in her death
i found no answers...
i've read the books that say i should have,
written notes in the margins,
managed only her name -
i guess i never got over her...
could anyone?
we know he didn't,
drawing shapes along
the sidewalk with white chalk...
it could've been cocaine
if he'd thought long enough
about what killed her in the first place,
but i suppose the poison
took her face away,
far from his sixteen year old memory...
he was young and i was young
and she told us she was suffering...
i spat on the ground, and
told her i loved her...
nothing could be done
so i walked away...
ten thousand cries for help, and
somehow hers went undetected...
i guess i never got over her...
