No Rest for the Wicked
They tell him repeatedly how evil he is: they should know.
Words of accusation, hurt and torment whirl around him, suffusing the air. Others whisper sweet nastinesses in his ear. They anger quickly, tell him what he already knows; he’ll never be good or pure enough-never be what she needs.
Curling tightly, knees hugged against his chest, hands covering his ears in a vain attempt to block their words, he hums a quiet lullaby. Eyes screwed tightly closed, he rocks gently, trying not to see the twisted, bitter face of the woman who used to sing it to him.
