its been too long

it has been
way too long since I
gathered enough courage to
open the door
open my eyes
and breathe in the
ghosts
its been
way too long since I
let the spirits in
let them consume me
let them become me
let myself become them
let us become one
it has been
way too long since I have
let them run free
let myself be free
let myself embody who
I really want to be
who I used to be
way too long
since I have tasted blood
the sweetness on my tongue
their soul escape into my own
its been too long since I have
lived
