Aftermath
Unspoken words
bring the stinging tears,
A burning throat,
and hushed fears.
Choking on silence,
she is the ghost
Dead from past injuries,
she's haunted most
Images fill
the crooked frames
A permanent reminder
of lies and shames
A voice colder
than an icy blade
lies masked behind
the masquerade
Smiling faces
turn upside down
As the voice
brings her to drown
Beautiful words
she prays are real
A moment's laugh
but she doesn't feel
Only the silence
that crushes her bones
His empty words
hit like stones
He reassures
he's honesty
She's the ghost
he won't set free
Under flash
he held her hand
Gave her strength
enough to stand
He held her high
and dropped her heart
Her world disentegrated
as she fell apart
