Shards Of Pain

The Ways Of Lonely

stillness bleeds unapologetically like watercolors on an empty page

droplets running down a broken pane

lightning flashing through the pouring rain

shooting stings, like drilling needles, into a field of dried up veins

picks at scars and tears your heart like it is reinventing pain

sadness peels the scabs you’ve healed, like stickers, stuck on a wall

closing the bar, before last call

just when you’re feeling 10 feet tall

it’ll drive the nails down deep, into your bleeding skull

no response or no recall, waiting for your hopes to fall

Feeling no remorse, giving no recourse for you, at all.
