you preach to the deafened
your voices speak to no one
your droning drowns in its own decay
you fail your lessons
by mimicking the echoes
that cry for you to find your own way
you have defied them
this is everything that you deserve
know the horror of the wrong you’ve earned
when you’re the helplessness you sing about
only i can save you
so i hold in every breath
until the air in me begs to forget
that it ever found peace in my lungs
and it screams up my throat to my tongue
it forms the words that end this all
the moment beckoning to fall
with a wind bellowed deep from my chest
at last i’ve begun the collapse
i tremble with the sound of letting go
the wretched ring of everything i had in me
my heart unfurled, i exorcise the silence from this world
this is everything that you deserve
this is what you’ve forgotten
