Words Like Daggers
Words like daggers
Straight through my heart
Shredding my soul
Tearing apart
My dreams, in whole
But saving a piece
A tantalizing hope
Never within the reach
Of my calloused hands
Barricading me into a room
With only my thoughts
Like shadows, they creep
Into my mind
Freezing me to stone
Never felt so blind
Pain that they wrought
Upon my ruined head
Tears of gold I weep
Over the hands that they bound
With bloody rope
I’ll finally be freed
Just to live like I’m dead
Words like daggers
Harbinger of hurt
If only they’d left me
Where I was found
Then maybe I wouldn’t
Be so badly burnt.
