Prison of Language, Cage of Words


I want to keep these words
Locked away forever.
For if they are freed
They may fly away
And never
Return to me.

But hiding them inside
Hurts my hate hardened heart;
Bleeding my soul dry.
And never caring
The Black Scar
Killing my inside.

These horrific letters
Taking over my Soul.
Eating away thoughts,
So blind and confused
I'm not whole
Without being lost.
