The riddler's hum

A vacant stare
a soreful glare piercing my skin
the poison of your words run through me
time and time again
the words that hurt me now haunt me
the gaze which used to love me
now has malice against me
some words are spoken only to get ones heart broken
something has been taken that has left my body numb
easily mistaken for the riddlers hum:
the riddlers hum is not a joke
but to fully understand you must take another poke
the answer you are seeking is far from a hoax
your mind plays tricks on those who stay
the game of truth and wisdom you must play
and still i lie here just wondering what lies ahead
even though i am likely to turn up dead
