Coffee Filters The Silence, Poison-esc

By Bella Butchery

“I love when the wind bites your cheek
To a soft blush because it reminds
Me you can still feel and you actually
Pump blood”

I told you to save your words
And keep them huddled to poisoned memories

*For the first time spiked coffee
And cigarettes do nothing for me*

Push through the noise
Distracted
In the veil
We sing silently

And lying next to you
I want to hear it again
In a motionless content

Thats all we are…



And run from me…

Chasing in the street tonight
Finally pointing it at you

dont worry about it honey

You could never decide
And this forced smile
…Is starting to weather…
i can tell you have rehearsed

So sing out

Thats all we are…
run from me…


And thats all we are…
Just a faded sound…
