Crime

441 22 11
                                    

The harbinger of doom,
Comes in with his scythe,
His demeanor in sight,
He won't leave until I'm gloom.

His every movement's zoom,
Along with my heart,
Making my confidence depart,
That leaves me in a dark room.

His sharp strikes resume,
Stabbing me with words,
All the hurt stirred,
And all the light entomb.

My pride they deplume,
Just because of one crime,
And that is homework not passed on time,
Now I know how it feels to be exhume.
