VIII. what they want

336 26 6
                                    

locks weaved of fine gold
fall before their crying face
a curtain call, the final act
the thoughts they hide for all

stuck inside an empty room
with no windows for eyes
staring at their bedroom wall

forced to dream of another life

they want to be somewhere else
where their screams will be heard
instead of silenced by the crowd

they want a certain kind of love
that'll take away the pain of
their breaking heart with a touch

they want to be spoiled by it
keep it discreet, and just a tiny bit
otherwise they'll feel narcissistic

the waves cold as ice, tears boiling hot
they're angry, they think too much

bruises, red and blue, on skin and heart
they're sad, they feel too much

I don't want it
please, make it stop
