words dripping off my tongue
swirling round this
house
breaking glass is the sound
of truth pouring
down
down
down
beat the past
bury me
with the horror you can't believe
this was supposed to be a secret
this was supposed to be a secret
this was supposed to be a secret

that's the end of the story
that's the end of the story
I want to wake up!

the repetition of the lines is effective just like Robert Frost's stopping by woods on a snowy evening. :)
ReplyDeleteDamned nice, Sara...it's wonderful to see new words, no matter the Muse. Peace be upon you.
ReplyDeleteThis is also fantastic - so emotionally tight. You always use repetition to such great effect (and affect)
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this. I idea of truth breaking though a secret...nice imagery.
