But No One Listened

Your radiant face
Your winning smile
Convinced our hearts
Your brilliant speech
Bewitched them all.
Your stunning brain
Your luscious mind
Left us intrigued,
Mediocre, blind.
I understood
Your life for music
Arts and prophecy.
But not at all
Your trust in him!

All she could say, was: Stop!
All she would scream was:
Run for your lives – don’t look back!
Use your damn brains and flee the dark!
And never trust the promise of a god!

I can’t forget
Your panic-face
Your broken voice
The disbelief of
What he did to you:
The doubtful gift
Of clairvoyance
As a thick bribe
To be his whore
As you refused
He cursed your tongue.
Left you alone
a babbling girl,
who saw it all:
And yet was heard no more.

All she could say, was: Stop!
All she would scream was:
Run for your lives – don’t look back!
Use your damn brains and flee the dark!
And never trust the promise of a god!

But no one listened
