Here I am a thousand miles away Writing you letters I burn every day Dreaming about the words you don't say Waiting it out until moments too late.

Letters to a ghost
**I've started talking to the insects crawling along the bedroom floor.** They scuttle away when there's nothing to say, but I still talk some more. **I find myself conversing with the paint on these four walls.** They stare back at me without expression, but I continue much like before. **I text myself inside my head at night before I close my eyes**. I find that these conversations can get lonely sometimes; atleast I get replies.

Insects, walls, and late night texting
My stomach feels like deadweight. My arms are about to fall off. My lungs feel like they're paper frail. My teeth hurt from smiling. My mind has gone on overdrive.     My heart's functioning automatic. Lately I haven't felt anything but the air that I'm breathing. Theres a whole world revolving right now and I'm just sitting here wasting water. People want a taste of death but I want to feel alive again. There are things I have to do but I lie awake unnmoving for hours. I lie to everyone I make contact with, every ******* day. Deep down I feel the tremors of an earthquake that may never surface. I'm waiting.
