Lies of cries

hands brush tears that carve my worn out face

hearts on closed wounds keep spilling endless Grace fingers trace the space where you refuse to stay

souls faint echo pulls my broken self astray

your photo drinks my soft like a cheap screen scene falling threads don’t Mark the floor I swore I’d mean

to never step but your false words once took hold

peace I found now shatters cold and uncontrolled lies

creep back to tear the quiet I had won ah

past heavy grip won’t let the future’s light come

I linger in a gap what time refuses to bend

hoping your faint heart will mend what you descend

your portrait feeds on cries like a crash from sheltered glass still haunts the ground about to fail to revisit where your deceitful vow

walls were spun

call my Bill now fractures come undone I wait for what the future’s yet to bring so soft whispers make my trembling heart sing I hold onto the hope that’s left to cling to the echo of your voice that makes my spirit ring

your picture drinks my tears like a vocal show’s heart falling fiber marks the floor I swore to depart I fight the lies that try to steal my heart one piece I’ll rise above the chaos

All is my release I’ll call again

oh whispers from me
