Broken thoughts seep through my skin
Another misery to begin
My eyes swollen shut with frozen tears
I’ve been holding back for so many years
Echoes of your voice linger in the walls
I swear these demons with never fall
They mock my words with blackened teeth
Biting my neck in disbelief
At my selfishness, they begin a feast
Eating my pain, my inner beast
Holding my breath I take a leap
A promise I hope you’ll forever keep
To escape their lies
I plunge into your silver-green eyes
I fall now forever, you won’t save me
You tried, now failed, no one can see
The me I want to show remains a secret
Buried within the walls
Because no one can keep it.
