Behind these empty eyes
Lay hidden lies
Festering wounds
That will never heal
Scars
That will never be seen
A masked guilt
That will never be revealed
A desolate life
Filled with despair
And endless void
Hidden within the heart
Mouth stitched shut
Invisible words
Unheard truths
Fake a smile
Mask the pain
The price of shame
Bones tattooed with unspoken sins
Skin pierced with demons’ arrows
Hair dyed with poison
Blood stained hands
Laughing for the world
Crying on the inside
The tears must fall
The truth must be told
Seek what must be found
Confession
Retribution
Forgiveness
Eyes wide
Mouth open
Wings unfurled
Desperate words spoken
Hidden lies revealed
