Some nights

Within these walls that inhabit me,
my sanity lost track of itself.
I am scared of my own eyes,
of the calming thoughts that gently push me over the edge
or the echoes in my heart,
the pattering of my footsteps stalking me like a murderer....
Long is the lonely night
Cruel, criminal.
Carve me a window outside my head from where I d leak, like blood, like ink
or like a flowing river
Carve me a path through salty tears into the sea
where lonely souls of this world come to sink
like heavy rocks,
come to sink like metal chains that finally broke free
