I know who killed me

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I know who killed me
but that’s not you
fifty shades of grey
or maybe more
stopped you from
appreciating
different hues

I know who killed me
but that’s not you
The Lonely Lady
wanted alignment
you got swept away
ignored my hunger
for all things new

I know who killed me
but that’s not you
The Showgirls
flaunted wealth
hated my guts and wit
shining through

I know who killed me
but that’s not you
color of night looked red
under a cherry moon
you got misled by
a cocktail of values

  6. Love the repetition here….and going from fifty shades of gray in the first stanza to the cherry moon red in the end. Well done! So glad you posted to the prompt. Might you answer the survey on OLN as well? Have gotten excellent participation and it’s all very helpful.
