I sent you a message
all tied up in string
but you never even noticed
the sad song I sing
I put the message
into a bottle
and set it a sail
in seas so awful
it drifted away
out into the water
you didn’t even see
my internal slaughter
ignoring the bottle
you turned away
oblivious to the pain
that’s impossible to convey
i found the bottle
washed up on shore
all broken to bits
and torn into fours
my message was gone
only a blur of black ink
my words still unspoken
all gone in a blink
still you smile
lost in a dream
reality a notion
a tear in the seam
so I buried the pieces
and built up a wall
hiding the ashes
that once stood so tall
I smile along with you
because you’ll never know
I tried to tell to you things
that I never could’ve shown
