Slither

Can someone fill this hole
The one that consumes this heart and soul
Watching the snake move through my vein
Spreading the venom inside my brain
And all the words that you speak
Who I am becomes hide and seek

Would someone please see me
Allow me to set these gifts free
The one that burn inside of me
Someone hear this desperation cry
This is the last time I ask why
I have to feel your lie

Others choose to hear one side
Looking at me with blood red eyes
Off despise you choose to feed
One word never said to me
Tormented and I don’t even hear the words
He slithers his way inside my nerves

Would someone please see me
Allow me to set these gifts free
The one that burn inside of me
Someone hear this desperation cry
This is the last time I ask why
I have to feel your lie

And in the end
Fighting battles within
Trying not to break
Trying not to hate
Trying not to retaliate
Keeping the venom inside my head
Letting time ensure the snake is dead
