A. Bik

I was still a child.
She had no right.
I was just an infant.
They had no right.

Sometimes your bones ache and you're stuck inside your heart
Sometimes the earth shakes and beneath your feet it starts
To feel bad inside your head
As you lay still atop your bed
...

You never know less pain and you never feel less broken
You just feel with every breath every word you've left unspoken
Bitterness is tarnished with the faintest taint of light
And there's beauty in the twisted and there's beauty in the night
...
