The Blood & The Bones

Your mouth moves

And the rage beats

Like a drum in my ears

And yet my face is motionless

You will not see this pain

But make no mistake

I am not calm

I am not at peace

There’s a war beneath my skin

There are battles in my veins

I have slit your throat 1000 ways

And yet I appear still, unaffected

A graceful plane

But inside my head

A bloody hurricane

And you see nothing but my poker face

I do my best, my very best

to keep the violence

at bay
