Tonight my wall clock tells me I am worthless
And I believe it
My shadow is making me think I’m being hunted
And so I turn off the lights and stand statue still against the wall trapping the figure behind my spine
My breath is screaming lies into the silence
So I will hold my breath
I am a ghost
I watch myself cry while wondering why?
I listen as my tear drops hit my lap
And it sounds to me like my Enemy’s sarcastic clap
I’m watching my thoughts dance clumsily in black ink on the walls
They paint pictures until the ink takes over
Now I’m  in a cave of darkness and the walls are closing in on me
I hear him laugh at the fact I find myself alone after years of begging for attention
His laugh is now muffled by a string of cars driving by outside the ice cold window
They whisper and ask me where I could go past the bridges I've burnt
I know the answer is no where but I  lie and say “home”
The share secrets and inside jokes as they continue on their path and I know
Tonight
I am alone
