Sadness on display
Oh my heart, how it breaks
Swinging like a ball and chain
I suppose this is how you like it
To see my sadness on display
I will not escape the fire beneath my feet
I choose to take the beating and absorb the pain
And my eyes hurt from attempts to see something other than deception
Slumped in the corner,
the diorama of dissection
My soul bobs in a sea of weeping
God himself can’t dull the wailing
And you ran away
And you ran so fast
While I screamed at your door
Until the morning reached four
I woke as a centerpiece to your game of wicked hope
With mocking fingers pointing
“You should have known”
So my dear, you’ve won
And here I am, shredded once again
I suppose you’ve been waiting
For the grand showcase
Another trophy behind glass
My sadness on display
