wedlock burying its sad children in the woods
never caught
never questioned
who would?
we dig them out
these vessels of flesh and blood
found holes punched in their backs
their skulls filled with static and mold
we showered them in kind words and love
but how fruitless these efforts were
one whimpered
"all your mending, your supposed help
it's piercing
it's crushing
it's too much
it hurts"
i never got what happened next
increasing noise
static ripped a skull apart
its splinters gnawed into my skin
i bled.
screamed.
"say no more
we could just seal you away
theres noone to confide in
for the rest of your days"
