Scream - Deserters

It just never ends.

Lied to another friend.

Missed another call.

The

lights and the phone turned off.

Keep it all to myself and lie when I’m

asked if I need help.

I smile so you can’t tell.

Now, I scream the things

I could never say.

Naked and alone, cling to the memories that I made.

And

you dream, because you no longer pray.

The smile on my face, is a mask

engraved with your name.

Already broken, but still pretend I can bend.

Selfishness determines who I still call a friend.

Living in my own hell.

The lies have built me a cell.

How long it’s been, I honestly could not

tell.

It’s time to go home and you still don’t know how I really feel or

what it is that you did wrong.

So I scream the things I could never say.

Naked and alone, cling to the memories that I made.

And you dream, because you no longer pray.

The smile on my face was a mask engraved with your name.
