Sonnet Poem by Angela Halbach
I gaze into the eyes Of that silent beast who multiplies My woes times twenty-nine. Fears and dread play An act of balance, they say As they take my mind away Back when I could think straight. Those were the days, When I thought I was more than bait For hungry wolves who can not resist To take their share, rip, and twist. Never quench, and never sate. Looks like devotion, smells like hate. When I gaze into the eyes Of the one who brings the lies.
