illusions


you dont see it yet
maybe you never will
but i do
every glance, every glare, every eye roll, every comment, 
i see it all
i hear every noise too
every single thump, scratch, laugh, 
i can hear it all down here.

i can feel it all
every eye on me
every ghost hovering through
every entity watching,
breathing down my neck waiting to attack me

but ghosts aren't real.
and five people in one house is bound to be noisy.
and friends are allowed to fight.

so why does every glance,
every thump,
every presence
go straigh to my nervous head
and right through my anxious heart?

    I feel like I'm imposing

    Which isn't fair for you to do,

    It's not fair that you make me feel like I'm on the outside

    I hate sitting here, trying to reignite what once was

    I thought we we're doing this anymore

  • unkept (wo)man

    subjugated to solitude eternal,

    only perceiving and watching love,

    maybe receiving it but never understanding it

    never internalizing it

    it bounces off. Doesn't stick,

    unkept and unruly and unclean.
