Deserters Scream
It just never ends. Lied to another friend. Missed
another call. The
lights and the phone turned off. Keep it all to myself
and lie when I’m
asked if I need help. I smile so you can’t tell. Now, I
scream the things
I could never say. Naked and alone, cling to the memories
that I made. And
you dream, because you no longer pray. The smile on my
face, is a mask
engraved with your name. Already broken, but still
pretend I can bend.
Selfishness determines who I still call a friend. Living
in my own hell.
The lies have built me a cell. How long it’s been, I
honestly could not
tell. It’s time to go home and you still don’t know how I
really feel or
what it is that you did wrong.
So I scream the things I could never say.
Naked and alone, cling to the memories that I made.
And you dream, because you no longer pray.
The smile on my face was a mask engraved with your name.
