I get up from sleep,

Fail to recognize my own voice,

I scream. 

Drown in words, 

I never knew I had.

I push the hurt further deep,

The deeper it hurts,

Down inside.

Hurt those parts of me, 

I never knew I had.

I am stuck with a melody, 

That had faded with time.

I listen to your songs in loops,
Not wanting to, 
Yet feeling compelled to.

I know that feeling,

When there is nothing left to feel.

I smile and giggle and talk and laugh, 

Hide that bitter taste, 

In my mouth and go to bed.

I drive down with you, 

The street I once had lived,

Memories come back home.

I try rolling up the windows, I try stopping the world, 

And then you stop me,
"Even wounds need air to heal".
