24

24.
Near.
What purpose?

There is nothing now.
I struggle for calm
to forget this
gut-wrenching fear
that lies in the pit.
A constant.

Words have not crossed
my lips for hours.
No one checks.
No one cares.

Love is lost.
Hidden in sin
In darkness.

How could you love me?
Why would you try?

Everything now is
played on repeat.
Work, sit, sleep,
Die.

Night’s Sighs

Pounding beat..
Stinging eyes
Fingers crack
As night time sighs.
Forever.
Eternal.
Cut short by the wise.

Words lose meaning,
the keys won’t play.
Lying here lonely,
Wishing lifetime away.
Though it is still
It passes so fast.
Numbness, fear,
How long will it last.

 

No

I remember the pain
Of forceful thrusts
full of greed,
and I’m  afraid.

A two letter word
you didn’t understand
as I lay trapped beneath
your weight, your power.

I shake. I cry.
I try to make sense
of something so beautiful
transformed

into something
that makes me sick
to my very core.

I said no.
