Unpublished 2020

This line links up my eyes and heart, so snip it at my throat
Now the tears won't come but they fill my lungs. Will I drown? I won't emote
~~~
Colourburn vision, wet eyes gone dry
Reading these feelings will make me cry
~~~
She's in my head
Takes up my thoughts
Plays to distract
Work through the drought
Make me forget
Because if not
It won't feel like
This empty slot
Will ever have a place.
~~~
Water, water everywhere
Runs down my cheeks
Clings to my hair
Edge of my index finger bare
And bitten into disrepair
