They connect off the screen /
damage me.
They erect in between
me and screams.
I’m bereft and denied;
I’ve been left / they imply
and the world is not quite
what it seemed.
I’m destroyed and in vain /
they collide.
Can’t avoid this /
the pain deep inside.
I”m broken and alone;
I’m the only one at home
and there’s not a waking soul
to hear my cry.
Can’t avert this touch;
what it was…
Shouldn’t hurt me this much
but still does…
If I were whole
or I were strong
but I’m not and don’t belong
and maybe this is all I ever was.
