Underwater Torture

Info

My blanket saw what the world couldn't

My blanket saw how I was a fish at night

where I breath with my mouth

And the pain I felt never made a sound

As if I was underwater

No one

No one within sight

could  see or hear the agony I dealt

As if I was loving you to death

The pangs of pain keep me up

As if there's a snake imprisoned inside my chest

the screams, the whispers

were all written in the air

And on top of my despair

were liquids, the same liquids I tear up as the dark embraces the room

As flatly as I lay

I cry myself to sleep again.
