Secrets Don't Make Friends

We're all human here, right?

 

Why, then, is my side, most human,

Something bidden I hide?

 

---

 

Mockings chant their mocking things,

Swinging from the hinges of reality.

While, sneers and jeers born from,

Overgrown fears,

Leave small ****** in my ripe heart -

 

Unceasingly.

 

At the door, my mind assured me, go,

And my feet, those dumb things, did listen.

Went right into havoc,

Wreaked solely by tragic,

Souls, so pathetic, I can't even stand it.

 

Who's ripping up my soul so darkly,

Save, me and the audience I've made?

Surely, the swift-sounding people,

With valiant battles to battle -

Are too busy to waste time at the gallows.

 

You dug the hole,

And jumped right on in,

I merely picked up the shovel,

And finished it.

 

Though, now, my heart aches,

So red and opaque,

Curse you,

For doing you in.
