its hands dragging me
through an endless loop of nowhere.

For "billing" is her constant creed.
"I'm hungry," "my gas is dry,"

TearsLately I've cried

A Spine Within A HeartA spine within a heart
My heart aches within
Something pushing and poking in
Poking out
Knowing out
Trapped in
Happiness is within trying to seep out
Through the little cracks of grey, it seems
Gold elixir fading away
Into...

to come up with anything new
when i have just one phrase on repeat

Her Hearts UnheardWith a dagger to my throat,
with what he uses to silence me,
my words don’t speak.
But my heart does.
It blows up and out—splat on the floor.

for I have not been silenced, just robbed...
