Not even ghosts walk here anymore.

she is in the shadows that nobody sees
beneath the eyesight and in a corner in home long forgotten
i would not say that she wanders
she is worth enough despite the guarantee for payoff
she stays where it is warmer
whether it be her mind or the draft in the corner
and she will forgive, since forgiveness lives infinitely inside her
no regret
as the shadows cross her familiar face
and how we forget
in shadow frame the time away
and try to recognize the day
light breaks through the window
home can be so little
bits and pieces of the string
tied by the knots of fingers
holding on to something

like-a-cut:
I get scared because I’m alone, not because you aren’t here. I get scared because the night is lonely and things like love get lost in the darkness. Someday, my child will be scared of love, pained by love, and I’ll tell her the story of you, my first love. I’ll tell her how you shredded my insides, and blew my faith to pieces. But i’ll tell her that I thank you, because these lessons in pain are lessons i had to learn. My skin needed to learn to grow armor in place of softness.
