Blood is all you have

Harsh white light streams like my tears
Surrounding me
The blue walls turn to water
Drowning me
Smiling faces plaster the walls
Lying to me
But this is all I know
I painted the walls
I chose the faces
I made me bed and now
No I’ll lie in it
With hollow frustration
Because tonight sleep chooses another
I am not worthy as I’ve done no good
Today there will be no reward
Today there will be no peace
Your heart will continue it’s marching beat
Driving your soul down
Down into the ground
Planting a single black rose on your grave
Because only the good can sleep
Tonight you will die slowly
Permitted to cry only tears of blood
You cannot mourn what you have not lost
You cannot loose what you never had
Words are all you have
Your only friend
And tonight they curse you
They laugh at your frustration as you beg them:
Explain all I am and all that I own
But they hate you because you misuse them
Speaking a snake of riddles and lies
Ignoring the words pumping through your heart
Your love song
Thinking they’re not good enough for you
The blue ink spilling
As you lie there thinking
Heart still beating as you cry
Cry for the sleep that never comes
The love you never had
And the words that turn against you
Cry little girl
Cry tears of blood
Blood is all you have now
It’s all you know
