The Stain
(Namespace: writing)
don't show any weakness.
don't show any skin.
yet painted on your inner walls:
the echoes of his sin.
smile and say you're okay.
lie and say it's fine.
the numbness of each hollow day
can be your anodyne.
every day is empty,
every hour too long.
psychiatrists gave up on you.
no cure for being wrong.
don't imagine dying.
don't remember pain.
as long as you keep on lying
you'll cover up the shame.
nightmares do not haunt you.
no one touched you there.
even as their shadows taunt you
and redness fills the air.
you're the only problem.
you're the one who's sick.
those men would never hurt a fly.
it's just your nasty trick.
yet still engraved inside:
the stain of his vice.
don't care if they believe or not.
won't let it happen twice.
rest would be nice
