Poison laced questions she asked him

She gazed at him

Never smiled

Simply looked at his eyes

And stared at his soul

He stood there

Perplexed

A million thoughts

Running through his mind

Like wild horses

Running through the plains

Charging the ground

Until dust remained

In the confusion of it all

Dust covered thoughts

Plagued him

As she opened her mouth

Uttering words

And phrases that pierced

Him deep like daggers

Straight to the core

Stunned to silence

By poison laced questions

He was paralysed

Into silence

When she finally drew

Her lips closed

Awaiting a response

All while gazing at his eyes

To see if lies

Won't be hidden there

He remained still

Silence filled the room

They resided in

Walls whispering

All that they had seen

Happening there

She stood up

Walked to the door

All while he remained stunned

Standing center of the room

Trying to figure out

What befell on him

By the time he awoke

And dust had settled

She had walked out

Leaving a tear covered trail
