night life
.
flicker flicker
the fake candle blinks in a dark room with a loud mind
twisting and turning trying to unwind.
sigh
deep breaths calm down the racing
thump thump
of the petrified heart, just bracing
thump thump
for the worst.
sigh
shallow breathing forces the heart to slow
and she turns off the rinky **** candle instead of blow
it out.
only darkness and the glow of moonlight now.
the loud mind forced to take a bow.
you'll never be good enough
still she hears the whirring of gears
that will never stop in a trillion years,
until she's thought her whole life away.
but what if
.
