lifeline

Tears fall

Glistening

They’re Diamonds in the rain

Smoke fills my eyes

And I can’t hear

I can’t see you.

Those hatchets you call words have every effect on me

But I can’t let it show.

No,

I’ll lock my emotion behind broken windows

Windows that used to look out onto dreams

Every dash of hope I let blossom,

You crushed beneath your narsisistic feet.

Your whines

Cries

And lies

I live every day in doubt of a tomorrow.

I can’t live with you

Can’t live without you

Will someone throw me a lifeline
