I Can Only Beg

by CTPP

Jal can't believe what's happened to her... She's confused about what to do next, and all of her musings end the same way. A poem of desperation.

I Can Only Beg

Why is it I want to cry?
Don't want to live
I want to die.
Why is it I want to slump?
Fold down into
A big fat lump.
Why is it that I want to scream?
And sing and dance and everything
Until I fall down on my knees...

Why is it that I can't believe?
All that's become so suddenly.
I want to curl up in a quilt,
Shrouded in:
Contained by guilt
Why is it that I want to scream?
And sing and dance and everything
Until I fall down on my knees...

Then I can only beg...
Bring him back,
Please.
