Member Poem

I've sewn my lips together, love 

With shiny golden thread 

You'll never hear my voice again 

I might as well be dead

I've tied my arms together, dear

With chains of stainless steel 

I'll never call your phone again 

My touch you'll never feel

I've locked me in a prison cell 

Inside a cold, dark cave

I pray to God to care for you 

Your life's not mine to save

I've cut my tongue and vocal chords 

I scream but make no sound

I pray to God to care for you

While I won't be around 

I promised not to burden you 

And killed me cause i had to 

"your life was just another breath,

The Earth still spun without you"

I sensed you didn't love me, dear

I could have shown affection 

My faith and pride still held me back

God, how I fear rejection

I sensed you didn't love me, love

I wish I would have told you

"I've wasted over half my life

on trying to unlove you"
