Still Listening to Your Lies

My mind swims with silence

Yet your voice pierces the air

The indistinct mumbling you thought I didn't hear.

I heard you loud and clear

Those roses you gave me had vines and thorns

That grew around my heart and pricked me

Drinking on my salty tears

And absorbing the blood that dripped until it drowned my soul.

It's all because I can hear your lies

Like darkness swallowing my soul and eating me up

Only to spit me out.

Then even after that you stomped all over my heart!

Ha! You make me laugh! I may be deaf but I'm not blind.

To me, I can hear every one of your lies.
