• A familiar sound is heard within my ears.
    The silence echoes bringing warm tears.
    My eyes are mudded in a daze
    And a smell of carnations surrounds me like a haze.
    The darkest shroud of a curse you left on me,
    Though you can’t stand to see my suffering as I weep.
    My tears overflow bringing me to my knees
    But knowing you still love me is all I really need.
    Pain, sorrow, hatred, loathing.
    They all tie together all making one dangerous meaning.
    Like a rabid dog, that at the mouth, was foaming.
    Needing to be needed, that’s all I asked
    But all you could do was beat me with your protective words while hiding behind a mask.
    I’m as dead as dead gets and what’s done is done
    So leave me die in my sorrow knowing you won.
    You won my life and my love.
    I can escape now; fly away, like a dove.
    Powder soft wings floating on a faltering wind.
    Forgetting and forgiving I will do at your whim.
    Just please don’t clip my wings and keep me grounded to the earth.
    I will do anything to show you my worth.
