Walls Don't Punch Back

I punched a wall today
To get you off my mind
Your haunting face
And meaningless words

I punched a wall today
Hoping it would make me feel better
But all it did
Was increase the tears

I punched a wall today
And scraped my knuckles clean
The bone peaking out
The flesh oozing crimson

I punched a wall today
Out of anger and hate
Wanting some harm to come
To knock me out

I punched a wall today
To feel some pain
But then I realized
That walls don’t punch back
