March 15, 2013
They shatter my eardrums
They pierce my soul
They come back to haunt me
They devour me whole
I try to escape
But I just can’t hide
There’s not a place I can go
There’s nowhere to find
I wonder why I’m silent
That reason, I can’t know
Words have not been scary
And won’t be ‘til yours go
I wonder if you hear them
Hear those words you say
I wonder how to stop them
And finally make you pay
I wonder why they pierce me
I wonder if you see
I wonder if you even care
What your words have done to me
