Text From Your Heart

Do you try
not to read
within your mind
the text
that keeps being sent
in your
quiet time
is it you that trys
to hold back the wave
that threatens
to drown you
in a sea of shame
as your tears slowly
silently
follows the curve
of your nose
as they
slowly drip
to the drum beat
of a funeral march
passing by
your quivering lips
towards your chin
that has become
their abyss
not knowing
if their sacrifice
has shown you
all these lies
you live by
