I bear wounds

That dig so deep

Deeper than your

Mind bears thoughts

Corrupted by the sounds you make

That seems so harmless

They inject themselves into my body

Spreading like ivy

Sticking like molasses

Burning like arsenic

They are coursing through my veins

It feeds under my skin

Constricting around my lungs

With a venomous wire that I cannot sustain

My breath goes steady

My mind goes blank

My ears can only clasp around

The dark symphony being proclaimed by the rain

I watch as it cascades from the clouds

And ruptures on objects

It is as if I was the rain

Being able to break

Ever so easily

Chained to the wall

Chained to the floor

I cannot escape your words

Anymore
