The Lies Sleeping Dogs Tell
by Shawnee
Age Group: Adult
Room keeps spinning
And dizzy headed
Drowned in memories
And now drunk with pain
Don’t look back
Pillar of salt
Curiosity killed the cat
And now I lay dying
What if
Doesn’t really matter
Now does it?
Keep telling me that
Sad psalm
Plucked on heart strings
Hoarse voice sings the lyrics
To deaf ears
Abstract thoughts
Formed from anxious depression
No hole to climb out of
No shelter from the storm
Avoid and delude
But no hiding place
Lies told to self
But believed by none
Let sleeping dogs lie
No rest for the wicked
Water under the bridge
And I drown within them
And you think nothing of me
And you never did
No room for anyone else
When you take up all the space
Too tired for tears
Heart dry as desert sands
Cracking and festered
No scab for this wound
