Your Body Speaks
Listen when I tell you
its way too much
must I bleed for you to see the hurt in me
Pierced, burnt and scarred by needles
stained in your ink
an aggravated soar
your cruelty heightens more and more
My questions have gone unanswered
did my screams go unheard
or did you block every word
said by me to the cerebellum
with your artificial high
which stifles my cry
Oh I hate how you love me
it must be a sin
you either fatten me with poison or starve me paper thin
I make known my discomfort with rashes, cuts and soars
pimples and wrinkles and stretch marks galore
I convulse, spasm, shiver shutdown
then leak, overheat and go completely numb
Yet you turn a blind eye
are you really that dumb
To not see me dying, waisting away
i'm trying to speak but you wont hear what I say
So one day I shall leave you
becaue you don't think
so pop another pill, have one more drink
We were created together soul, mind and me
unfortunately i'm considered the least of the three
I'll continue to serve you
till I can do so no more
until all you have done to me deadens my core
I love you immensely
if only you felt the same
then maybe we could converse
outside of pain.
