The Madness

A room of silence
Nothing but a sheet to keep warm
Cradling one another
Trying to make good out of something so wrong
How long can this go on
Help isn't far away
Your pride keeps your lips frozen
Everyone has disowned you
But her
She stayed by you
But how could you
How could you do this to her
You're so wounded that you can not see
Have you forgotten that you live within her
She is your home?
Once you betrayed her trust
Even you
Became lost in your own eyes
Staring back at a shell of yourself
Lost in sleepless nights & drenched in shame
Hiding scars & trying to laugh to hide your pain
Dying inside
Scraping out old wounds to draw attention away from fresh bruises
You mutilated yourself with one wrong move
And a plethora of misused words
Lies to cover lies
Throwing back spirits to hide your dismay
Laughing on cue as if you had everyone fooled
Yet it showed
Your secrets were transparent
Dangling on you like a tail
You're trying to hide something you've attached to your spine
The monster you created
Was riding you like the fool you are
