Rubber Bands
I have a rubber band ball snapping apart in the inside of my heart
And in my mouth, hitting clinched teeth
Being full of screams
Their vibrations tumble down
And I can feel each and every sound
They pull on my veins
And play them like guitar strings
They tingle the scars
Each one lighting up like stars
They ring like church bells
The sound unavoidable
They sing a lullaby
‘Scream and cry, scream and cry
Don’t you want to die
It’s not easy to say goodbye
Isn’t that why you lie?
Break the ties
Muffle your cries
Turn all of your screams to sighs
The anxiety will be over
It’s just a lullaby'
