Paper Walls

these walls
paper thin
don't have ears
but i do
you don't know
how loud you are
how well i hear
every word
what you said,
what you didn't
who knew words
unspoken
could be so sharp?
sacrifice your
firstborn
to darkness
if there's blood on these
doorposts, it's mine
drive the spear or
turn away
i still feel the sting
send Dark to swallow me
whatever you do
you can't stop Sunday
