My own pain I cannot convey
So I continue on with you
Despite your sadistic display

Ice cold fires smother my existence
Strength nudges me along
Living in submissive persistence

We were building a bridge
That you chose to defile
It was halfway done
An attempt woefully futile

Words broke me down
Effective and impartial

Sticks and stones
Nowhere to be found
The creation of a war zone
Security tragically bound

Words killed the silence...
