there are whispers
in the air
bruised memories
that paint
these abandoned walls
my secrets fill
the ticking
of the clock
second by second
clawing desperately
to be released
the rage
filling my veins
cold chains tight
around my flesh
confining me
to this place
to this existence
where you left me
so long ago
your perfect lies
filling my mind
red stained
and shattered
the colors
finally fading
YOU
are finally fading
my lungs
fill
ever so quickly
with the silent
screams
that are
begging
to be released
all I can see
is red
all shades
of red
it suffocates my entirety
consuming my being
I want
to fucking escape
this world
this life
me
my mind
my fucking mind
I just can’t breathe
I just can’t breathe
I just
can’t
FUCKING
breathe
the burden
of these memories
surrender to my soul
their weight
crushing my existence
stumbling across
blood soaked glass
feeling the pain
upon my flesh
I’ve trudged
this tedious path
a thousand times before
my sable secrets
lay bare
upon these old tracks
I carry on
into the distance
as the jaded reflections
fade into the unknown
as the liquid
percolates from
etiolated skin
a jaded past
awakens the soul
battered
bruised
tormented
and empty
painted hallucinations
delicately cry out
we surrender
our shameful secrets
to these bare walls
as the shadows gather
to say
their final goodbye
and the secrets
within these walls
haunt me
kissing my soul
tasting the pain inside
etched in broken glass
these bitter sweet dreams
taunt me
the nights whisper is heard
begging to be let in
away from the dreaded world
I close my eyes
and listen
silence fills me
and steals my breath
the clock never strikes
the same number twice
but the seconds that pass
are all the same
here I find my truth
and I close my eyes
and listen
demons
find me
in the darkness
of each night
they comfort me
kissing my scars
suffocating
I beg for more
letting them
wrap me up
within their hands
I whisper my pain
to them
begging them
to keep my secrets
safe
within these walls
the dark clouds
they linger
once the clock
strikes midnight
taking hold
of your once
pure soul
you try to escape
feeling its power
take complete control
you smile
the feeling so comforting
caressing so gently
your every thought
kissing so sweetly
your innocent scars
screams so loud
but no one to hear
alone and empty
the feeling soon fades
another sleepless night
greeted by
another dreadful day
I count the minutes
as they tick by
ever so slowly
every single second
just like the last
the pain
washes over me
my heart
Is too numb to see
dark and cold
it gets harder to breathe
as the night takes over
the colors of sin
stain the room
painting my naked skin
I close my eyes
hoping to escape
but all I can see is
Red
I’m painted red
