Surrounded by darkness, 

Shapeless silhouettes

Dance on the walls. 


Moonlight casts shadows, 

That stretch across the floor. 

Reaching out

To my faint existence. 


Little rips.

That is the sound

My heart makes 

As it falls apart. 


Spiderwebs of tree libs, 

Come through the window, 

Tattooing my still expression. 


Pressure builds behind my eyelids,

Forcing warm streams to carry

The black makeup

Down my cheeks, 

Slack slowly and twitching. 


I silently sob, 

Falling to my side. 

I grab my legs. 

Pushing my knees into my chest 

Holding them there 

With all my force, 

Wishing it was you.
