- You can't see the scars;
Covered up by sleeves of guilt...

I told you to calm down,
To stop yelling at this time of night...

The truth is:
You are part of my nightmare...

You cut me to pieces,
And pretend i won't bleed...

They tell me it will be okay,
That i can make it through...

I'm the screaming in your head
and the darkness after light...

He washes down the last mouth full,
In hopes, it will ease his pain...

Can you see her blackened face,
And the cuts upon her lip...

"I think i need some help,
My strength has gone astray...

To my dearest friend(s),
I can no longer find an expression...

Like a rope around my ankles,
You slowly pull me back down...

Periods of silence,
A chalked smile upon her skin...
