A Scream Trapped Underwater

The mirror breaks

All the little pieces falling shatter

Shards of me too sharp to put back together

Too small to matter but big enough to cut me

I bleed, I bleed

I breathe no more

Love on my hands

Blood on my lips

This redemption is forced to resist

Purpose of existence

Making much sense

Other examples of affection in unrest

Beautiful irony of mismatched enemies

Broken down words of apathy

Restless tired eyes, so don't make me try

Forcing respect from this sunken pride

Sense of direction

Front page murder rate

Oblivious to common sense over dead subjects

These disowned wings soar on flames

Tradition of a father's wish falls in shame

Never count your losses while adopting this bitter rage

Rewritten story of past events

Attaining breath within sickness

Another reminder around your finger

Lessons taught in lies

Bringing a smart man's death

Telling a truth to your face was a task of this self shame

Trial, the last man standing

Savior, to retain this soul from the noose

Escape the judgement for this abuse

Exposed, speech of a modest tone

Scar, false actions of a simple habit

Adapting to this bitter touch

Extinction of a family name

The present buries the past

A half ass equation emphasizing failure from cold dead hands

Nervous habit on the brink of haste

How poetic are your contradicting ways

Donor to these failures

Simple way for you to overcome

Ignored, overlooked

Less and less

The bitter end of all your fake regrets

Jaded eyes of the deaf

Crawling in my skin this taste for sin

Small and self involved

Looking down your throat

Reuse of excuse, in so many words you lose

Blind sided, face the facts, a thought for you

King of the black hearts playing all the odds

An apology, only swapping words

Finally got some guts

A non-sexual crush for all this tainted lust

Loss of all regret, this idea to accept

Do you ever stop listening to just yourself?

Echo of mistakes that you would like to forget

Unaware lips that drag things to the silent end

Hanging yourself with words of a finaly phrase

A burial of elegy within

Silent motion for the insane

This cold hall

Confined black walls

Dead subject for this dialect

Get over the fact, no one cares after death

Isolating this fear, seizing life again

Despair and the gun it holds

Tomorrow's broken promises of redemption

As yesterday's apology unfolds

Fighting words that stand alone

Three strikes, leave this vengeance behind

Leave the unforgiving outrage for the past

Reaching for the dead sky

Flight of the dragonfly

Swallowing the butterfly

Your last kiss good-bye
