Troll

Hush now, don’t speak so loud
That voice it’s not yours anyhow
Coiled in breath, he waits inside
Feeding fear, whispers lie
You say you chose the fall
But the strings tell it all
No sabotage, no stray
It’s the troll who pulls, who makes you pay

He hums in blades
Wraps you in shame
No care, no grace
No love in this place
Just razor blades

Soft as pitch, it drips again
A velvet noose inside your head
No penance makes it clean
No silence keeps the screams unseen
The choir of rot sings sweet
Laughs in sync with your heartbeat
Echoes claw through your chest
He’s still in there, with still unrest

He hums in blades
Wraps you in shame
No care, no grace
No love in this place
Just razor blades

No, they weren’t reaching fists
You volunteered for this
To prove how deep you care
You bled before they stared
Carved your worth in air
Drained out what was fair
And left the hurt to teach
Where love could never reach

He hums in blades
Wraps you in shame
No care, no grace
No love in this place
Just razor blades
