Eyes staring through me,
humans with strange hearts
Love hangs in the air,
filling balloons on a string
Doors locked shut,
a hallway of tears,
I’m drowning and running
and getting nowhere
Spirits fill one half of me,
half dead,
eyes half closed
and humans with strange hearts
haunt my sleep
My heart is full
but my fingers are stiff from
going too long without
holding a pen
Words
finally open my eyes,
banish the spirits
and hang love in the air.
