something within me is fading slept all day wrapped in a comfortable numbness now that it is dark outside I know I won't be alone much longer I have suspended disbelief that serenity is coming last night my heart hurt I wondered if I was in the midst of a heart attack but now I think it was just my heart screaming it has surrendered now my heart and I sit in the dark watch the flickering candles we imagine the soft pulp that holds love being scooped out scraping the last stringy parts as if it were a rotting pumpkin I discard the soft parts in the trash I wash my empty heart in Dawn dish soup so it is clean before placing it back inside me a wind moves through me as a sad echo takes up residence in my soul my heart's empty beats feel like laying down on crisp clean sheets the souls surround me so glad there is more space for them now we heard you we will free you my spirit children come to me while my demons sit in the corner out of respect for my indoctrination these empty hearts now beat as one
