Better off as dead
Instead of full speed ahead
To an unknown dread
Chopping off like horse’s head
And while fast asleep in bed
Believe liars’ said
Tearful realities shed
Road not often tread
Fearful of truth, hatred led
Upon cold lover’s bed spread
Another dark sample of ‘divorcing from people’ tanka in monorhyme.
