Pain

Do you know, that the survivors of the holocaust couldn't bear to hear the bark of dogs?

Memories barking out the cold
drip of scared sweat
When can I ever see you again?
my laugh sequenced in a slideshow
the shutterbugs caught me unawares
their candid shots caught the fear peeping

lipsticks should be red
not for seduction
but prevention
maybe then he wouldn't bite so hard

rape
is when you love, well sort of.
