Can't you

Mon, 05/25/2020 - 16:31 -- EJ123

Full stomach, empty heart

Knives pierced in deep

Cracked smiles staying intact

Demons follow as I sleep

Cuts run away from healing

They scratch me constantly

Cuts keep me forever reeling

As I'm stuck here hopelessly

Wounds run deep inside

Can you soothe it like silk

I can't even though I tried

Make it as smooth as milk

Im hurt and helpless

The sun burns me from day to day

Stranded in this wilderness

My injury's ache no matter what I say

Voices screeching

Can't you hear it

Voices begging

Cant you feel it

Why do I have the pain

Why are you still sane
