tied deep

i am nothing more than the ghosts i keep
of the people i miss and
of the sliding doors i should've left untouched
they are tied to my back and they hang low
my face is an inch above the ground

this is self punishment
a form of self hatred and loathing
because if someone else won't do it, i have to
someone has to answer for these crimes
and i am the willing participant
