Slit wrists can’t but harm, scarred skin can’t help but hurt
Some words are better off unsaid and unheard
Old words for new wounds
Scars upon scars conceal the wreckage behind her eyes
Even demons dream of heaven
When will she have given enough?
Bled enough, cried enough, taken enough?
To find compassion in callous arms?
Devoid of hope and out of sight
She can’t make them care with stolen words
And a heart mended by hate
