WARMTH IS FOREIGN, NOW
I HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED
TO THE DARK
I WILL DANCE WITH MY DEMONS
FOR A WHILE

silence.

...

when i open my eyes,

my aching eyes, 

my throat stings like

the handfuls of pills i would swallow

or maybe the critisisms.

for some reason

i still wonder if she would be 

p r o u d. 

her dear little haley so far gone she still can't

think of eating the same, 

how she doesn't eat for days and then

collapses, 

a pile of bones and skin on the floor. 

haley

haley

haley. 

i wonder if love is a delusion

for certainly i have never felt it. 

right? 

the bugs that were attempting to 

crawl out of my mouth

have dispersed back into my chest. 

niall was here but he wasn't anymore. 

it's someone else. 

it's him

i had been so lost in thought looking at 

the ceiling that i had not even noticed

that there was someone i did not wish to be around

right beside me. i tried to scream

but i simply could not. 

i can feel the vibration of his voice, 

but i cannot hear him, 

oh how i wish i could hear the sweet rasp

of his voice. 

shut. up. 

i was numb. 

all i catch before i pass out is

"the pain you feel

it is

valid"
