the screaming shadows,
they cry out your name,
shrieking it out in any
moment of silence
and in any
rioting crowd
they scream it out
taunting me
with harsh memories
of
summer days and winter nights.
you linger
in my mind,
just wandering
wandering around in my head,
acting harmless
when really
you're destroying
every little thing
in your path.
the shadows are closing in,
the edges of my vision dotted with black as I sink down the bathroom wall,
because god,
they just won't stop screaming
and your soft voice is ringing in my ears
but you're not here
you're not here
while the
empty
pill bottle
falls from my grasp,
and as I close my eyes
for the very last time
all I see is y o u.
