The Me You Kill

You can see, but you don’t care You look past the misery in my eyes and stare at my canvas face, a door closed forever My thoughts locked inside and yours on the counter I thought maybe one day you would open that door and pour into me I pound at the walls of flesh, I scream, but still Your silence smothers me, my wounds bleed forever, never to be covered You can see, but you don’t see me What you see isn’t what you get, but you wouldn’t know, you’d just forget I’m not that blank canvas, I’m more, open that door and see See me You can’t You couldn’t Even if you stared forever
