Lucy
in the forest, Griffith
you
appeared suddenly
upon
escape from deviant claws
that look on your face
such disbelief
horror
revealed in a ripped dress, exposed breasts
broken wrist
defensive gashes, so deep
face swollen
forearms endured the rage, the insanity
surprised
I
froze, shocked
in
disbelief
bloody hands fumbling about tree branches
grabbed into my chest
saliva dripping from hysterical lips
that begged for mercy
you stumbled into me
and collapsed exhausted
my Lucy
I fell in love with you, that night
