Ashamed of my inner sins

Entangled in bitterness 

Because of my pain

I put a padlock on my heart

And took the keys

And threw them in the sea

I refused to feel

I refused to believe 

But the hand cannot deny its touch

Nor the tongue its taste

The pain I felt was too deep to be numbed

I wince as I bite the wood of distraction

Yet it is crushed under the force of my teeth

And there is nothing for my pain...
