             can you hear my muted, mutant screams?
                   

      it is in a form of cry shriveling up my lungs

                  leaking foam from my parted lips and panting tongue

              drying up my eyes and making me collapse
                                   (in the coal mines of my mind, all the goddamn time)

                   
                   
             you once said that you had heard my voice

      being whispered in the evening winds
           
                        carried by the cooing doves
                                 
                  like my name was your song
                        (forever calling to lost loves)

                  until the last stretch of its infinitely looped three-minute play
                     

             i held unto false hope, every step of the way
Free verse :heart:

Title taken from a line from Fall Out Boy's
