What the Crickets Sing
Please
I want to rest
To seal my eyes
To dream of breaking butterflies
Slicing fragile wings
Against cold thorns
I know the pain that they endure
Reddest roses, dark and bright
Burbling blood
It feels so right
Nightmare fluids running down
Chirping brain cells shutting down
No one wants to see or hear
Cocooned inside my falling tears
Help me, please
I'm almost dead
I have no pulse
My wings are red
The voices whisper
Love let me bleed
One sharp knife is all I need
I'll end the hurt I hide so well
And then dry up inside my shell
