"Your eyes must be closed!"
Tears well.
Tears stream.
"Won't you listen?"
I cannot courtesy her with a reply.
My eyes are by ghost lids closed.
My ghost's hands cover my ears.
I hear no evil.
I see no evil.
But if I cut my veins and empty them
would that make me feel fixed?
Would the thrill of it
our connection
an end to my obsession
would it heal?
But it's gone.
She is my ghost.
Unwillingly and unwittingly
she sheilds my eyes from her.
covers my ears.
I will see no evil.
I will be no evil.
