[Knife on a Breathing Ribcage]

Empathy means you
See with someone else’s eyes;
All I see is blood.

I was born as a
Hole
In this world
Eyes the shimmering grey of a thousand dead pixels
An unfamiliar expression

Please wake me up please wake me

Love is a finger in a shallow wound
A dozen kind words tossed carelessly
A creeping feeling of clarity

I am a ghost story

A haunting without murder without
Malice without pain
How keenly I feel
The circling
Of the drain

Maybe there is no life after death
Maybe there's just

me.
