BROKEN SECRETS

deafening trickle of rain

oh how you haunt me

i cannot hear myself think

i cannot feel myself love

imprisoned in your noise

i scream

to whoever will hear me to whatever will shut you up

sheet upon sheet upon sheet upon sheet

you fall

i feel you on my skull i feel you on my sulcus

get out of my brain

my memories
i wish no one to be lurking there
i shut those corridors long ago

you have no place there

get the fuck out

and leave them closed

sudden silence

is that a break in your chaos

will you give me time

to think

to breathe

to hide that which should not be found

i thought not

your torrential drizzle maddens

that one part of my brain you have not probed

with your liquid tendrils and your malicious intent you find my cracks

and i can hold you off no longer

the lock breaks

the sigils fall

all of my secrets pour forth

from my past

my hand

my mouth

i am open

read me like some discarded paper on the subway

some seven year old magazine you found under your sofa

some prescription bottle you found in the dumpster

and see what you dredge up

my colors run

my words blur

your ferocity washes away my life

my secrets are no longer safe

you broke them free
