PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You feed off hate and broken dreams,
You prey on insecurities,
You drink the blood from ripped out hearts,
Do you know just who you are?

Don't give a damn about the thoughts,
Don't hold a grudge unless you're caught,
Don't let your heart get in your way,
They want to go, you make them stay.

Laughter draws near
Replaced with fear
At the thought that every sound
Might bring us closer (closer...)

Keep voices hushed, promises hollow,
Pretend to lead until they follow
Go right ahead paint on your smile;
You've got no heart, you've got no guile.

You have your scars, you know the pain,
But now you're crawling back again.
Why knock down all you have left?
We both know it's just self theft

You plain shut out the ones you love
You use your force, you push and shove
You let your heart get in the way
Making them go, when they need to stay

I see your heart, I've known your pain
You say your fine but your not okay
You keep quiet when you need to yell
You've made yourself a phony shell

You can't come out; you just pretend
You think the madness never ends
You take it out on all you see
You're merely who
You're taught to be
