Silent Lies
Silent Lies
By Ember C Tupelo
A darkening sunrise
A beautiful, young girl cries
Betrayed by the knife and its horrible disguise
He tells her its art and she believes his lies
He continues to cut while she cries
But her friend sees the pain in her eyes
She tries, and tries, and tries
To fix her and unspin all the lies
That are buzzing in her head like flies
But the dark in her friend never dies
One day the knife goes a little too deep
The pool of blood a little too steep
Her eyes fall back as she starts to fall asleep
When she realizes what she’s done she begins to weep
A few minutes later she doesn’t make a peep
Her friend walks into to the bathroom
She expected this to come but not that soon
She carries her friend out the door
And runs down the street until her arms are sore
She darts into the emergency room with little hope
She’s just glad she didn’t find her friend dangling from a rope
She sits in the emergency room waiting for hours
People come and go bearing flowers
The fake sorries and get well soons
All the chocolates and big balloons
They don’t do anything but tower
Over her lifeless body, her eyes no longer sweet but sour
