How many times
Can the written word be scribbled down
Before it sounds like a moaning bitch!
How many fights can be repeated
Till the repetition becomes that of normalcy?
Barely able to stand up any more
Stuck on broken knee caps
Eyes dull like the beaten drum
Fire down to a dwindle
The spirit of a god within beaten to that of a crying child
Fingers numb upon the flesh
The glittering teeth within a smile cold like death
The taste of copper in the mouth
Thoughts of broken glass
All of these things
Make an unending dull thrum of pain in the heart
Mine eyes have become that of lies
My heart titters on the edge of ruin
My mind stretched so thin a breath can break it
My own flesh that of cold shivers
The fire within those eyes of ashes and ocean
Have become an empty pool of nothing
Matthew William
