help
i am my own dreams, but,
my life's in shreds.
husbands gone, with blood in mind
nasty deeds in his head
help
since that disastrous night,
my hands have not been clean.
i wash and wash but still i scream,
"get out damn spot!"
help
i am the queen,
not the one i'd like.
country men drop, every night
macbeth can't stop.
help
i cannot cleanse my life,
it is dark forever.
my sleep is wild,
the dreams will stop, never.
help
help, i cry,
i need to release,
my fear and anguish
which in me creeps.
help
new dreams it is
i need to find.
over the balcony
there they may hide.
