Wounds.

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 24, 2015


.

i'm sure you are unaware you enter
my home after midnight, when candlelight
is murdered and i wake the floors with
utterances of your name.

it is not you who is the ghost
but i....

i imagine your breaths and not my own
that have smudged the wineglass i
stole from the corridors.

the truth is - i never can sleep on nights
i need to, on medicine i need my soul to
swallow and heal, completely.

    From this, I get that the poet tends to kind of take relapses in time when it's late at night, and alls said and done for the day. Like something about the past hasn't yet really loosened it's grip on the poets heart and it's taking a long time to heal and so they self-medicate, because, afterall we're only human and we don't want to be in pain :( I like this, alot.

    I love how you described the candle, i believe that sets the tone more then anything. Yes something is haunting you but this is beautiful,
