I woke up
Staring at
The darkness
Like
The
Blankness
Inside this page
I felt the future
Falling like
An endangered species
Will we finish this race?
I don’t want
To be the one
That hurts you
With words
Spoken
And unsaid
They say the
most dangerous poison
is the secrets we keep
Lately
We leave it all out to bleed
On the butchers floor
How many prayers
How many lives
How much time
In this witch hunt
There’s a parting in us
The smoke inside the ashes
From those we burned
I woke knowing
The future was yours
And we’ll go down
Choking
The blood from
Our own tongues
Standing
Observing
The stains
This floor
This blank page
This black room
The echo of stars
Filling this empty space
The bitter tomorrow
Coming in like blood in the tide
It can’t wash out
We’ve opened the door
We won’t escape what we’ve become
And we can’t wash out
What we’ve shown the world
We can’t go back.
