Who
What
When
Where
Why
How
It’s a never-ending flurry of questions
They’re the target of annihilation
The words of man that create inward torment
The pins don’t pierce the skin but still leave holes
The tears spill out with every lie
The shudders don’t line up with reality
Every tooth of that bastard point in every direction
But not at themself
Crack in the dam opens for toxic tongue to harvest
The “I love you” was a skeleton
By the time it was bestowed upon living ears
The sensitivity is death
Powder is a good mask, especially when worn on the inside
The sinking eyes and red eyelids and wet eyelashes spoke
It wasn’t believed when they said in hurt
The mess is a contemplating grudge
Against the villains who cause lacrimation
But crying is no longer human
And love is dead when they peel back your clothes
The butterflies in your stomach finally fly away
Where did all the nice people go
