Raindrops fell without rage
eyes half-closed
skin like dark gray metal
inanimate and cold
another flame to my face
the smell of sulfur lingering away
you're here for the perforation of the heart
precise incisions, anesthetic dreams
it's broken like a ticking watch that need repairs
shattered glass, exposed face, waiting to be wound
wounded like a friend of mine who eased
his pain by killing
not letting it kill him
when you wake up you won't remember anything
but that night the ghosts wailed in the windstorm
cries sharp like a crescent moon
a sickle grazed against the skin
my breath fogged up the window
so i let the night breathe in
i let the ghosts into my room and listened to their screams
incessant whisperings singing like music to my ears
a flash of life like lightning electric blinding blue
reminded me of me
