Salve

A cruel and unusual thing is the way you hand down your suffering 

annoiting each loved frown with new oil to boil

 

if it could please you for a second I would say pour it on thick 

slaver and salve.

 

but it's a temporary hit each time sating less than the last

and im running out of thick skin fast

 

Enjoy the walls that bring your words back to you,

i hear the echos are much louder when theres nothing to muffle them 

 

maybe you'll hear yourself scream 

and realise the cost is our dream.
