Here I lay
bleeding from my heart
the sting of hurt
ecthed deeply
Thorns I walked on
still stained with blood
the scent is clear in the air
metallic heat suffocating
Knives in my back
growing with my skin
attached with unbreakable string
playing with me
My soul leaked away
dripping slowly
leaving a broken trail
tasting of betrayal and hate
Self-inflicted wounds
leaving scars behind
they whisper to me
"You're still here."
Slapping me in the face
with the lies you tell
left with streaks of red
from the blood you took from me
Dragging me over the stones
with the thorn vines tightly wrapped
around my neck piercing the skin
cutting the voice I never had
My hands coloured red
with wounds that never heal
jagged pieces of myself
my broken reflection
The emptiness is still there
pouring its shadow over me
like the thorns I'm wrapped in
it's always there
Here I lay
destroyed by you
thorn bound wings
bliss of eternal sleep
