"Unloved"
a flickering red light
at night
shaking hands with insomnia
"They don't care"
haunting my mind.
My lungs wrapped with their agreement,
a trapping embrace - cold and fragmented.
I felt like myself again,
but my box,
didn't come with more pieces.
To replace the ones I lost.
My heart
beats sideways; wrongly,
through my ribcage.
Tearing it, and my body apart.
As easily as paper.
Life's a dead end.
I know I'll lose all parts of me.
One by one; forgotten.
Like ashes in the wind.
