Ghosts of the Given
I am not angry, I’m just done.
A smile persists where fractures creep.
This hollow skin feels battles won,
a counterfeit of wounds too deep.
A smile persists where fractures creep,
layers worn thin under unseen weight.
A counterfeit of wounds too deep,
isolation whispers: quiet is fate.
Layers worn thin under unseen weight,
to carry love where none remains.
Isolation whispers: quiet is fate,
a ghost reborn from vanished names.
To carry love where none remains,
each promise falters, each vow confined.
A ghost reborn from vanished names,
eyes read truth; trust left behind.
Each promise falters, each vow confined.
This hollow skin feels battles won.
Eyes read truth; trust left behind.
I am not angry, I’m just done.
