When the world is silently crumbling
And your only evidence is the tears
No one gets to see
Your words a silent echo
As your teeth scape against your cheek
Weaponized comfort
Undeserved pleasures of relief
Head down , glory at your feet
A soldier skinning their cheeks at their defeat
A wordless imbecile
So young and a fool of youth
The agony of their days of yore
Burning their lips
Hush! Do not cry!
Dig at your skin
And hide the bruise on your knees
No one gets to see
No one gets to feel
Scrape all that's left of your torment
And leave it at the door
Sadness is foreign in this place
Harm a sullen truth hidden in the blues of the sky
Tears embraced by the sea
Fly! Fly! and you to shall see
But... Do you hear it?
Silenced! Hear blade to skin
A red sea parted
Pleasure finally foaming at the mouth
Breath a euphoria bleeding into existence
She stands! Dancing as the music of her life pushes at her feet
Eyes burning her skin
Wonders of a world so close
Yet so soon to disappear
Eyes everywhere..Eyes on her
Finally! Finally! They see
Crimson, drenched in a smile
The shy thud of her chest
Finally! Finally! SHE'S DEAD
