I sang
The words
Of
Silence

I sang
The words
Of
Pain

I sang
The words
Of
Damnation

I sang
The words
That I
Meant

I remember these words
Vibrating
Inside my throat
Clawing outward

I remember these words
Burns on my arms
Branding me
With names and numbers

Words that soothe
Yet still
Ache

I sang
The words
That
Blind you

All I felt with you darling
Was a battlefield

Trapped in my mindscape
Trying to find an escape

None of your words soothe me
All I felt was apprehension consuming

These final words were meant to hurt
To act against all the pain you made

The time we have spent
Is now wasted

Laughter that echoed
Is now a hollow sound

How could we let this get this far?
Did we try to change this at all?

It is better if we just leave this alone
Lets not repair a broken soul

I want to thank you for the time given
Now it's time to say goodbye

And I'll be wearing black and blue
It's my new favorite color
To hide all the bruises
From my ex-lover

I don't like this dress
It's too tight for me
So I do nothing all day
Just sit down and cry

No, it is not because of him
No, this is not blood
I just love to curl up in a ball
Keeps me safe and warm

I love me some white dresses
Red seeping through
Making lace into a fright
Dripping trails in the night

White becomes pink
Stains on my porcelain skin
Painting my room a crime
Washed away with tears

I will wear a black dress
Makes my sickness stick out
Matches my old stab wounds
Now I don't pretend anymore

Cradle by old oak
Chorus and strings echo around
Sending on my way
Into a place where there are no dresses

I was calling you
During yesterday
All the moaning
From your bedroom
Must have muffled
My screaming
You didn't hear me
I was pleading

For salvation
From damnation
Some sign of
Exclamation

But you didn't answer
Now I am here to suffer
burning with desire
like a vibrant fire
But what does it consume
Is it me or you?
