Inside
Tears bathe the walls
in tremulous sobbing,
tasting rooted seeds
of hovering tension.
Soul leashed
to dark floorboards,
wilting in gloom,
permeating room.
Water stained ceilings,
pungent debris,
clipped wings,
and layered skin.
Room full of silence
and eroding bones.
I’m locked up
inside of a man.
I beg to be free
I want to be me.
You...You Don’t Like Me!
Empty and void
is the room I sit in,
for everything has
REJECTED
me...
The chairs used their legs to leave,
as did the table.
The couch scooted out,
taking the love-seat with it.
For nobody loves me, no one wants me.
Outside,
the sun has stopped shining,
the stars have stopped twinkling,
the trees and flowers and even the insects
have all abandoned me.
Even the wind has ceased blowing
and soon, the air inside will leave me,
as well,
leaving me bereft of all.
Including life.
