Echoes

I once thought I knew who I was
you showed me I was wrong
You forced upon me your own cause with
your sick yet sweet song

Your cold hand has split my soul
into pieces I can’t hold
All the rest of me was sold
but I have never once failed to survive.

What a splendid lineup of scars left unmended!
A history of my most one-sided foes
At least they will never let me forget them!
I’ll learn to cry after my lonely funeral.

I used to think that I was healing
then I just felt fine.
I suspect the numb sensation implies
that I may have died

I can’t recall the last time my
poor body let me cry.
Conditioned rules keep me alive;
to live you have to lie.

I know you relished every time
you left your mark on me
Give someone else your dirty work while
I pretend I’m free

Did you keep me years or days?
How long since I have left?
I may have escaped your maze
but the echoes grip my chest
won’t let me rest
like I’m possessed
