there's something in the basement
i can hear it clawing
at things i haven't thought about in years.
carving away at the things i love the most
it's tied to the radiator
i can hear it breathing
as it's crawling up and down the wall.
the voices are clearer
when brightness is dimmer
why can't you hear me
i'm screaming in here.
i've been trapped drowning in my past
waiting for my reprieve.
i stand amid wood and wire hoping to
piece this all back together.
jesus help me i hear the voices
they’re getting close.
how long the dark played in my brain
and how long my thoughts have antagonized my pains .
i sit with a borrowed mind
hoping one day i find my own.
