Stale quiet on seas of gray
Dull lights and uneasy groans
Doors make travel easy for shadows
Bodies fall behind in mind’s work like a neglected love
“So how are you today?”
False words in painfully clever disguises
Fragile ghosts play like children in gray halls
Reminders of former desires
Chatter needlessly to cover the hole
Design and scale in hollow hearts
Modern thinking kills the good in me
Swallow heavy thoughts
Bury them under careless phrases
Transparent lace wrapped in lies
I told myself many times to stop loving you
Screams grow louder in my head
Are they mine?
Stomach in knots as I think of an answer
“Fine, how was your day?”
