I Try

I try hard not to hear but they talk so loud.
I try not to see but they linger around
Their voices echo in my head
I hear them every day
They are here 
They are here to haunt me!

If you see the scars in my heart you will be mortified
Yes they did this to me so that you turn in your grave
They will not stop until my hands are as cold as ice
Until the breath from my lips departs
Until my heart is ripped apart.

I try not to cry but the tears keep falling down
I have tried to bear the pain but its killing me now
They whisper in mind everyday
I can hear them say
Take
Take your last breath

If you see the grief in my eyes you would want revenge
They would know that they sent me to my grave
They will not stop until the four winds of the earth engulf me
Until my soul departs and I am no-more
Until my blood cries out to the heavens.
