Gutless

By andimulder •
And it was a gutless killing,
Reddened hands strangling the throat,
Screams shrouded with excuses of nothing.
And it continued,
Fingers and a neck locked within a deadly beat of engagement.
Ever so gently they pressed,
Imprints embedded with misconceived memories and mistakes of the past,
Until at last it snapped,
And the silent screams subsided
It was a gutless killing.
