The Pull

Struggle and strength You have to achieve great lengths The pull of a noose The tighten of the knot Around your little neck Rings of pain Your backbone snapping in half The hourglass out of time They tear out your heart and feed it to demons Collect your soul and put it in a jar Spiders and insects crawl through your eyes And it's all because you pulled the tie Jumped off the chair You just seemed to dangle there Your skin pale as the moon Your smile perished No words slipped out of those once red lips The noose closed your throat Suffocated your mind Only to leave you to die Their words written in blades All around your thighs Your wrists torn to shreds And now all you are is dead.
