she needed me

0 0 0
                                    

We all have inner demons

An inner war

But what's it for

I'm getting lonely

My only friend was bony

But she left

I want to leave

But shackles keep me in place

Like a caged elephant at the circus

My pain is on display

My eyes are being gouged out

I replace them with marbles

My legs ache

I break them

I broke them

They are broken

Just like the rest of me.
