Wednesday's Woe - Are We All Ruined?

Wednesday's Woe

Are We All Ruined?

"Even if he didn't kill them, he still should die. He's ruined now that his sister is dead."

"By that same logic, I should die because my sister is dead, and I'm ruined."

~Sharp Objects: A Novel by Gillian Flynn, p. 236

Are we all ruined,

by your death I mean?

Living but scarred,

a terrible scene.

Parents and siblings,

death's toll it takes,

Living but dying,

attending our wakes.

Are we all ruined,

by your death I mean?

Parents and siblings

ever grieving, lives spent,

living our deaths,

a terrible scene...
