Denouement


My hardcover is worn.

    I thought leather was thick-skinned.

Spine is gone but I manage

    to hold myself together.

Tears bleed the words

    and each page, a crime scene.

Writing about you

    is such a murder sentence

I built dreams for you but they are now haunted abandoned buildings. I call them nightmares of the forgotten. You can find me holding the world without hands. Connect with me!
