Sunshine and Silver Wires

Trying to speak, but my mouth is tied shut with thorns

I’m sorry I’m pathetic, unable to cut the wires in my mind

All this pain digging into my skin with the promises I've made

Overthinking myself to the edge, hoping to be saved

Speaking past the muddled thoughts in my mind

Sadness and madness crawling through my veins like blood

Sunshine and petals when you speak to me

The silver words of others stay embedded inside of me

Broken mirrors and shattered glass inside of me

Shooting stars and bright rain when you smile

Dark corners where no one wanders

Fears upon my tongue unable to be spoken

Fear of pain and broken promises in the past

A story within your eyes that I’m curious to see

Scars of our past putting fears into our heads

I have my own language, unable to be spoken by anyone else but you

I remember my past in fragments , like broken mirrors

Your voice echoes in my head, saving me from my fears

Scared to speak past the thorns being shoved down my throat

Fear of hearing the broken words tumble from your mouth
