Closure

A Healing Heart

Not a forcefield

but imaginary walls

built from dread

Fearful eyes

packed in the dirt

with the dead

Strung up by your toes

tasting the dust

from the rafters

All the blood

rushing to my head

Feet searching for traction

Taking necessary action

to dissolve the endless

hateful infractions

I sit alone at night

saddened by my mind’s abstraction

Wasting in abreaction

Lying silent, waiting

Deliberating chain reactions

I can’t describe

how you broke me

You took years of

debating my self worth

creating who I am

finally finding

that someone

I searched for

and dumbed it down

to a dependence

on anything I can snort

suck or fuck

You don’t deserve the happiness

you bleed dry from those around you

I hope you cherish loneliness

heartbreak
