her bloody screams

Shame on you
you shouldn't have done that
you know
the way you bent her limbs into the trunk,
her contorted body,
it wasn't natural
of course, that wasn't the worst
The moment she knew
she was going to die
Was it when you held her down?
Spit in her eye?
Was it there all along,
did she wait for it like she knew?
What are you going to tell yourself
to make it all right?
Tomorrow is good for that
right now you're busy
wiping your mouth
and her bloody screams out of your mind
It was her fault, you know
the way she looked at you
it was too much
How could any man contain himself
and when she laughed at you
well, what did she expect
In your mind she's dead in the trunk
she may as well be
Instead, she sits beside you in silence
and the drive home is painful and awkward
she said things that didn't make sense,
you said things you wish you hadn't
She'll go on with her life
but you know that something was murdered tonight.
