Notes on- The walls of my heart and Russian Roulette
1
There are walls no one can break down.
I have told no one about them
but they are the songbirds
to which my heart beat
beat beats..
2
'I love you'
three words
poison. Trust.
My feet bleed now
from the distance
they have ran
as a result
of such venomous
words.
3
Trust is a locket
around my neck but
your hands are a better fit
4
I don't know
my name or
my birthday or
my reason for being
skeletal
anymore.
Last night I laid
on my bed and I
told him my shoulder blades
are machettes now.
He refused to bite the bait
or the bullet, he remained
quizzical which is
better than remaining silent
I guess
5
dear Guessing games
are you Ouija boards
is that why your soul stays
stagnant watching my every move?
6
I know
you won't stay
if there's no gain
You are a wishing well
and I feed you pitiful pennies.
(less worthless than my heart)
7
I know
I won't stay
unless I
need
somebody
(right now
you are that somebody
but you won't let me
press the button
and end my game
I need to be here
for
you)
8
but to what
extent?
shouldn't I be
winning
Russian Roulette
now?
You whisper
that there are no
winners in such games
but you would
happily play, wouldn't you?
There are walls no one can break down.
I have told no one about them
but they are the songbirds
to which my heart beat
