Won't give him the satisfaction
Of seeing me cry…
Keep this pain a secret
Hold it in, bury it down deep
In the coffin of my blackened,
Broken soul…
Tears of acid stinging these
Bloodshot, down turned eyes
Once shining with hope and promise
Now dulled by shame, filth and disgust
Insistent, icy fingertips burning
My pale, flaking skin
Lips leaving poisonous trails
Upon flailing limbs…
And then, with one last, final cry
The world explodes in white hot agony
And the tears finally fall…
Betraying my very soul
As he simply laughs and ploughs on
Til the end…
With a promise to return again...
Leaving me to weep and rot alone...
