helpless

Their jealousy were fuming for years
And they were hungry for her flesh
thirsty for her tears
but little did she knew
for all were her friends

And on an unexpected day
when she was her most vulnerable and defenseless
they were all over her
and she watched their dagger
dripping her blood
peeling her skin, tortured her day and night

and when the dawn was near
they were all ready to leave
smiling at each other with relief
and then they dressed her wounds
wished her fast recovery
and bid goodbye

For they shall return when she is well
And all the while what i could do
was to stand there and watch
watch her suffer in their hands
And stand there and watch helplessly
