Rain cascading down those porcelain cheeks.
Laughter follows bitterly,
An ugly rainbow.
Did you think I would not notice?
Did you think I would truly forget?
Lips red and swollen,
Infected by those tears.
Ashamed of who I am,
Why must I hide the essence of who I am?
Why must I conceal my heart and soul-
Nervous giggles dressing up my awkwardly placed smile?
Why must I conform to your image of average?
Why must you discard me like a stray Coke bottle-
Am I nothing more than junk..?
..Thoughts ate you alive;
"Your thoughts contaminate me," you explain in a stutter.
MY thoughts burden YOUR mind?
Ha ha.
Try living with them, every second, every minute, ever day...
I promised I would guard your back.
You ripped mine in half, clawing through my spine.
Everywhere I turn, your eyes are glaring into mine.
Everywhere I run, I am met by your halting stare.
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Get me out of this hell, please
Rip my soul out, set it free.
Cut away these caged ghosts
Constantly tormenting me.
