Should You Ever Fall

Should you ever fall? I think
The world will fall down dead.
It does every day. Somehow it
Keeps going, time after time.

Bust. The world beats the innocent
Girl. Spiteful hurt, no remorse,
Resurgence of confident feelings,
Evil feelings. He’ll beat you when

Your walking away. Knock your
Shit-faced body down some steps;
Give him some satisfaction as your
Face breaks; your unknown child’s

Crying is silenced. Stomach squash;
His tasty dish. Bastard, that bastard.
He’ll grin, as he sees the bloody corpse…
The bloody corpse… die, and pass

Away. You. Come back! Come back!
Slice his head off; a distraught system
Of repressing dreams. He will always
Be out… out in the night. A spattering

Of rain on the window.
His illumined face.
Gone… in an instant.
And Back.
