Living Words Dead Voice

The warnings were there
My words screamed at you
I tried to tell you what was up
What was going down
How it really was
But my words were dead to you

My suffering you didn’t care
My drowning in my own tears
You thought I lied
You thought I joked
The blood flowing from my heart
From the cuts that were caused

But now I’m dead
And my words are now alive
You regret what you didn’t hear
The blade is strained with blood
From your ignorance
I blame you...
