innorim
issued a call backwards
a stirring voice on occasion
vocal chords twinged like
being pick-axed by a mason
You stood still and stopped
Recalling every desision you've ever made
weighing them with the day
Opened your mouth before thoughts could fade
Realizing the choice you would make
The words you said contradicted everything
yet they were the direct result of it all
For your life would melt, but there in result a king
Sacrifices aren't in vain
but they will be forgotten
No one holds you while you're in pain
undisturbed your soul turns rotten
its for a greater good or so you tell yourself
but maybe you should have shut your mouth
heat grows steadily and you wonder what its for
ignorant to your placement but directions point South
All thats wanted is dangled
All thats needed is out of reach
He leaves the picture before the paint grows dry
never knows the taste of peach
The scent of lumber
or the vision of scarlett
I have never known love
pain is self inflicted and deliberate
