Surrendering

By @allym985/25/2017poem

Oh dear,
Oh dear,
Your hands are shaking,
Your eyes are leaking,
Your lips have parted.
Your voice leaps to my ears,
But your words bounce back.
What did you say?
...
What did you say?
No.
Beneath your control,
Behind your fear,
In the midst of your skull,
That lingering shriek...
My dear,
What did you say?
