he always found it hard to sleep
said it’s always been that way
because the darkness was too loud and always had too much to say
..
no matter how he tried to run and hide
he could never get away
the whispers in-the dark
said the things he never dared to say
…
a firm grip
an airway
squeezing the last air away
…
eyes meet
dilate
…
heavy breathing
air escapes
…
every night the same thing
and nothing, again
…
feeling
some kind of way
the game and shame
to lessen the blame
…
open windows and doorways
some say
an easy escape
…
shadowed hallways
evade
disappear and get away
…
always trying to get away
…
too late
…
he lies awake
body shaking
self proclaiming
shame
…
no names
forever changing
evolving
again
…
a chameleon
coming undone
a loaded gun
…
left alone
to face the sun
can’t be undone
what he has done
…
he always found it hard to sleep
it seems it’s always been that way
the darkness was too loud and always had too much to say
…
