ugly sores cover dripping words

an old story you love to whisper

to a crowd that doesn't listen

lines that end in salty tears

and begin in shaking fingers

you whimper as the story

stretches across bare skin

and stains the cloth you wear

you tell your story a million times

yet your book remains unopened
