drop
       drop
              drop
little spots of ink on paper
as I ponder what to write
drop
       drop
              drop
little thoughts do linger
emotions caught in webs so tight
drop
       drop
              drop
I try to untangle a single line
searching through exhausted mind
drop
       drop
              drop
my soul still raw from life’s sharp edge
the wounds and scars form a blurry wedge
drop
       drop
              drop
between what I got and what I wanted
what I lost and what I needed
drop
      drop
             drop
the messy page before my eyes
not unlike these spastic lies
drop
       drop
              drop
I ask again
when shall I truly find rest?

It's coming from the walls...

Is that..?

She's at the backdoor.

N-no, no please!
