18 days
on the inside
18 days
locked out
of your chest
mind numb
too tired
to craft
the tears
to shed
pain lingers
and only
becomes
half mended
18 days
on the inside
learning to
walk with
the lost soul
you hide
holding hands
with darkness
18 days
on the inside
stitching together
abandoned streets
to make them
18 days
stronger
