i think someone stitched my pockets closed and the fluorescent light above me flickers, as if it's possessed by a lonely ghost.
these days grow softer, lines fading into watercolor and my mouth tastes like a hundred cotton ***** from all these pills i've been prescribed to swallow.
i remember when i wanted to be loved, now i only want the beating of my heart to cease but the pulse in my wrists belongs to someone else and when i look in the mirror, the creature i see isn't me.
sundays are the days i was tangled up in the sheets suffocating and choking out sobs i couldn't form into proper words if only her arms could finally envelop me in gentle darkness.
