A night like this
doesn't feel real

I wish I was dead

I feel like a cut flower
on display

For those who seek
life
and
Beauty

I don't know where I came from
I seem to forget
all about me

I lose my tongue
when the final moment comes

I can't say the truth

Now I feel like a night light

Keeping away the darkness

only I know
It's all around me

Howling like the wind

screaming in hidden words
in the cold faucet water

And in the pins that hold my pillow together

The words she spoke

I couldn't feel

The people I see
are not enough

I have no home

I live inside this haunted body
my ghosts
follow me
deep in my dreams

Sounds of the night
are faint

I'm silently asking
everyone to turn off their lights
and let me breathe
