I Screamed Her Name

by ddavidd   May 29, 2019


In the middle of the night, I screamed her name.
In the middle of the nightmare
of daylight
I screamed her name.

In the icy eyes of
the headsmen of my smile efflorescence
I screamed her name.
I screamed her name
like the last word of a convict
like the
Hemlock of fire.

Facing off
the gun barrels
of the executioners of heart
I screamed her name.

In the space between my lonesomeness and my window
opened to the alleys of an abysmal lost
I screamed her name.

In the grey eyes of the withered skies,
like a sagging sunflower in gloaming dusk
I screamed her name.

Only in your eyes, she answered!
Only in your tears, I found her
when
she was
gone!

    This is a powerful piece. The repeat of "I screamed her name" throughout really worked very well building the suspense to the last stanza which hit home with that emotional hammer. Only finding love when it has gone has to be the worst kind of feeling.
