Days begin without an end.
Holding on to the memory of a friend.
An empty look of desperate dreams.
Stolen tears bursting at the seems.
Elaborate jokes and hurtful names.
Whipping the lion that he tames.
Sitting in the hellhole they dug for me.
Insults hit and stab at my heart.
Inflicting pain where there is already torture.
Destroying the already in ruins.
Laughing at the crumbling tower that is my self worth.
Holding me close for a day.
Shooting me down like a plane.
Tying me down with ropes.
Hanging me from the tree.
Naked for everyone to see.
Invisible hatred a sea.
All around choking me.
