3.12

I think tears go to hide
Between the neat sheets in my closet
They fool around with the lost sleep
And lie close to the back of the drawer
Where it's cool and it's dark and it's silent.
At least that's what I'd do.

They slip away in the morning
When I'm too surprised at their bold defiance
To tell them to wait for a reason

They know too well
I won't.
It's not the time, it's not the place, just wait.
They don't anymore.
They know
No reasons come my way any more

So they hide between the sheets in my closet
Embracing my long lost sleep.
They know you're not coming back. I don't.

Get out

Embrace the one loved
Unnoticed turns into
The fiend
Swirling a key chain
Dangerously close to skin
Dares talk of new furniture
Unmentioned
constantly renewed fear

It is deserved
For black cats leaving
Broken snow-globes
Jumps he never made
Choke-hold everlasting
Is it for the promise?

Set freedom in motion already
Constantly pealing off
Almost sickness, never health
All this sickness
Enchained
Hacksaw, grater
Inefficient.
