I promise
I will keep quiet
No one will ever hear
About the cobwebs and lies
All the closets
Will be nailed shut
No skeletons in sight
No one will ever know
The mirrors will never show
How pretty little bows
Turned into murderous ropes
Tightening the screws
Marking the bruises
My soul erodes
They will never learn
Of fresh horrors
That scream behind
Bolted closed doors
Frightful speeches
Held new hostages
Coercing obedience
Take back your poison
Unveil the treason
Cease your assaults
For I’ll slay your claws
Rescind your puppets
Or I’ll choke their trumpets
Look what you’ve made me do
Return the peace
You’ve robbed from me
Leave me
My dignity
My sanity
And the remains
Of my shattered bliss
You’re no longer my destiny
I offer, MY SILENCE
Grant me, MY FREEDOM
When this is all over
You won’t even notice
I was ever here
My name, my face
Shall be ERASED
From ALL database
Your love
Was my disease
NOW,
I AM
FINALLY
FREE.
