These Words are Damage
You speak these words in search for humor
But tear me inside like lacerations per syllable.
The blood rushes to the surface trying to help
But the pain keeps coming back.
I'm alone at this moment
The damage has been done.
I start to panic.
Shaking
Trembling
Rushing up my spine.
When deep words enter only harm remains.
My hands are tied
With lips sealed shut.
I try to reach out and scream for you
Only hearing silence and denial.
When I finally die
You'll dance at my grave.
Making me shake
Tremble
Running through my cold veins.
But tear me inside like lacerations per syllable.
The blood rushes to the surface trying to help
But the pain keeps coming back.
I'm alone at this moment
The damage has been done.
I start to panic.
Shaking
Trembling
Rushing up my spine.
When deep words enter only harm remains.
My hands are tied
With lips sealed shut.
I try to reach out and scream for you
Only hearing silence and denial.
When I finally die
You'll dance at my grave.
Making me shake
Tremble
Running through my cold veins.
