Trap Door

2/22/13

“open wide, don’t bite”

says the creepy trap door.

stealing & breaking my heart

was its goal for sure.

the liquid thoughts running down

my mind in jumbled fear

defeat the strength I’ve tried to keep

through all my lonely years.

in every step I take today,

my mind still not awake

I try so hard to wrap my thoughts around

the reality that’s now so fake.

your tracks can be found

still on the surface of my heart.

that trap door you closed me in

still burns today, from the day we tore apart.
