She Only Laughs


She Only Laughs

‘Come again’
She said it through a wincing pain
‘A few things never stay’
Words elbowed to make their way
‘And what would they be in my case’
Spitting her annoyance on his face
‘Call for your patience, it’s time now’
And she shrieks, ‘Wow’
‘Love is not being selfish’
‘And, you’re done with this dish?’
‘Life moves on, and so you should, too’
‘You found a new girl to woo?’
‘Oh, c'mon, don’t be a bitch’
‘And, what about ditch and switch?’
‘I was a fool to love you!’
‘I loved you, and still do’
‘I don’t care’
‘Cause, you fear’
‘Fear of?’
She only laughs
And His fear echoes in her last tear!
