Mute

Who ever thought
That I could hurt someone?

Is it a sin
Since he hurt me first?

Or did an innocent man die
because of my words?

I should never be forgiven
he’s dead because of the words that I spoke.

If only I could have kept my promise
but Bailey said I should tell him…

I feel like I should suffer the same fate
will being kicked to death hurt very much?

I wish there was a way that I could escape;
the guilt, the world, everything.

I can’t go on knowing
that I was responsible in murder.

But how was I to know
that they would hurt him?

I’m just a naïve child
in this dangerous world.

All I’ve got are my thoughts
no longer my words.

If I open my mouth
Who knows who I’ll endanger.
What if it’s Bailey
I can’t live without him

Or maybe momma…
It just hurts to think about it.

It’s just best to keep my mouth shut
Lock it and throw away the key so it never opens up

Dear god forgive me
For I know not what I have done.

I don’t understand why this man
Had to die at my hands; or rather my words.

I deserve punishment
Does this mean I’m going to hell?

I guess that’s just as well
Because that’s what happens when you speak promised words.

I’m sorry
To whomever I hurt.

My mouth is shut
And I will remain forever,
