someone had shattered marcus's glass heart
for the pieces were littering the floor.
someone had cut the thin simple string
keeping him tethered
for he was floating away from the dank and dirty ground
someone had beaten marcus until his he was raw
for his arms were covered in blood and scars.
but he could not find the culprit.
unless it was Lillian herself.
if only he had noticed sooner
that she was in pain and struggling for her life.
he noticed everything else about her,
but he was not able to seek out the evils
nestled inside her ribcage.
she was the reason the blood was still in his veins
and now she was the reason the rope went around his neck.
