Perfect Wound

She wakes but keeps her eyes closed
Her mind replaying coversations
She holds out for feint reminders
Locked away where she can never reach now

She waits with good intention
Where her heart broke and fell unnoticed
In her mind she pushes to the edge
The thought of any better places

He needs no reason
He'll turn this place inside out
He'll find the demons hiding
And make them all become him

She hears no reason
She walks a path between them
She holds her breath and waits her turn
We watch them slip away now

A tear without emotion
Silent shots are flying everywhere
Just one cut is all it takes now
And she'll be perfectly wounded

He needs no reason
He'll turn her world upside down
He'll take whatever's hiding
And feed it to his demons

She hears no reason
She walks a path between them
She holds her breath and waits her turn
We watch them slip away now
