Youve shut me out
and you wonder why it is im so shut in
or maybe not
maybe my silence makes you feel oh so content
all of these words
youll never hear because youve gone and cut them out
the way youve cut me with the words youve learned to shout
you use your words
like the sharpened swords they are
double edge, repeated scars
repeated scars.
repeated scars.
