24.2.12

Matthew 7:6

Never imagined it would be like this
Avoiding your eyes
Your hand
Looking out the window listening to you frantically fill the spaces
My silence deafening
And painful
After being thrown around
Crossing my fingers
Bearing physical manifestations of the feelings I've been straddled with
After being bruised and battered
Screaming and panting
He took me and shook me
I will be held
It will feel forced
And disinfected
Sobbing limp in your arms
You console me like a child
and you pay to have me
Exorcised exorcised exorcised of it all
Walking down the street
Pearls falling
Peace be with you
Swine trying to prove themselves princes
Chased after them
Chased after her
And you thought the crisis was averted
I closed my eyes and prayed
You see your name, don't you darling
Read between the lines
Yes, I know how to feed your ego
Yes, I know that you're pleased
But remember that every word is a drop of blood
I'm silently counting the cuts on my knees
