the dank hallway is filled with the repercussions of conversations that only she can hear her dead phone rings all night her lover stepped out for a smoke ten years ago but hell be back in a moment she loads her version of disappearing and a smile slowly fades onto her face a deity of sunshine her open vest sweating skin is covered in particles of the dirt that hides her eyes from seeing the dire face of this long long year like a blast furnace she keeps thouse thoughts sealed behind the locked hatch its battleship beginnings lend credence to defensive posture she takes when confronted by the ugly truth he ain't never comin' home guess my name but you know my face dont 'cha honey its the blackend end of all your burned down dreams its the final chapter of all your unfinished novels i am darkness within your own soul her jagged edge feelings scare her and she tries not to let them show on her sculpted features but with rancid ticks and convulsions of the lip they escape one careless emoticon at a time don't all emoticons have screaming faces bleeding eyes she smiles for me and navigates the narrow hall past the groping old men to a safe corner where she can disrobe her heart and let the tears fly fast and furious pills and molly would solve she thinks but holding my hand will do in a fix if i can get her through the night if i can get myself through the night
