I choke on disappointment
Coughing up shards of glass.
Tasting the crimson truths of unhappiness.
Words won't come, forgotten paths

Shamelessly burning bridges
Beyond the help of tears and fortune.
Reflected monster I've become.
Layers of hate hiding pain.

Let the light in they say.
Darkness swirls around my heart.
Clenching against the violent beats.
No regrets, only anger.

The only tongue I speak is destruction
My pen murders the hopeful
Just as the innocence in me,
Was so carelessly thrown through the muck.
