I ripped open my soul
in a moment of frenzy
and sleep-deprivation
and you were there,
staring at me with the eyes that haunt me
in the dreams
I sometimes find.
It’s no wonder I cannot
escape the simple
thought of you.
Now I cannot sew my soul
back together
knowing that you are there
or could have escaped
and knowing that you did not.
Because you say nothing from the inside
and now I cannot
even
find the words
I want you to say to me.
