I can hear his every move
I’m sleeping in the next room
His each sigh and his every scream
In a dream he can’t resume
I can hear him toss
I can almost feel him turn
I can hear him murmur
As he strives to return
I didn’t think it was possible
To get under his skin
And now that you are under
He’s sorry he let you in
I press against the wall
I imagine he does too
I imagine he gets lonely
When his thoughts are stuck on you
And now he’s fallen silent
But I know he’s still awake
I think this is the sound
That a heart makes when it breaks.

Empty
Empty hands with no one to hold them
Empty songs with no one to sing them.
Empty words that mean nothing
The words you never said meant everything.
Empty days when you're not around.
Deafening noises don't make a sound.
Empty hours wasted thinking of no one,
Empty nights spent dreaming of someone.
Empty emotions, felt but never shown.
Empty expressions on your face hide it all.
There is a gaping wound you left in me.
So this is how it feels to be truly empty.

insanity
They called her insane
They were probably right
But thats not all that she was
Thats not what would be carved on the granite, resting above her skull
Thats not how I would come to remember her
They called her insane
Was that what she was?
Condemned by society as a stranger
With words like involuntary hospitalization
And prescription medication
They called her insane
But thats not how I saw it
I see how she would reach towards the sky
Arms outstretched, blooming like a flower
Reaching towards an uncaring sun
They called her insane
And I do recall
The days during which she would wander about

Poverty
It is Sunday, and a girl is dying.
You must have seen her, with cracked hands
And cheeks as hollow as her eyes, staring defiantly
At every person that passes her without a glance.
She thinks they must be able to smell it on her:
The bitter tang of metals and grit in her water
And the faint but penetrating scent of sickness.
She sells candies and paper flowers from a cart,
And stands up straight with her dress hanging
Like a sack, though it was a lovely yellow once.
Every so often as she passes her wares to a buyer,
She thinks that the petals and colorful wrappers
Look like wishes should; but she cannot have them.
She must always

It's sort of a snap/break/crack/crunching noise.
It's really upsetting
Especially when all you can do is listen to it happen.
