my mind is the deepest ocean
my words are a puddle
neither reflecting
what I mean

dressed like a nightmare
slithering through a window
looting the rooms
the last pieces of the puzzle
infinite hallways
lost in a maze
leaving behind no mistakes
unable to wake from
the nightmare

locked
in a tower
possibly a
princess
probably a
prisoner
trapped
in chains
without a
key
without knowing
knowledge is
power
knowledge is
key
without caring
because the
tower is
all she
knows

I walk around headless
unaware of my thoughts
leading me down
the spiral staircase
narrow and rocky
keep your balance
or you’ll fall right into
the black hole
of my past

She laid alone in a bed meant for two
She laid alone and
wanted only to see the one
she loved the most
her stomach eating away
at her flesh from the inside out
a consuming fire
a fire
flames licking at her back
flames that licked her scars
she waits around for him to come back
