It was too late now
It felt like my mind had consumed all the chaos
The vexed voices
mixed with shallow breaths and a loud heartbeat
I'm sure nobody could tell,
But I was at a war in the most peaceful places I went.
Like it had swallowed every scream
The blurry flashbacks of a crying child
mixed with a terrifying wish to never leave the room
I'm sure nobody could tell,
But I was covering my ears in the quietest places I went.
Like it had ingested all the violence
The melancholic melody of shattering glasses
mixed with all the swearing
I'm sure nobody could tell,
But I was taking deep breaths in the most calming places I went.
Like it had sponged off all the sorrow
The fake laugh decorating the dull walls with fictitious felicity
I'm sure nobody could tell,
But I was wiping my tears in the happiest places I went.
Like it had grasped all the guilt
The tears staining the pages of her favorite book
mixed with the urge to blame it all on herself
I'm sure nobody could tell,
But I was washing my hands in the cleanest places I went.
Like it had blotted all the bruises
The heat of leather on the skin
mixed with the urge to sleep all day to forget the pain
I'm sure nobody could tell,
But I was hiding under a tree in the sunniest places I went.
