A dream pressed on her eyes
stealing sleep
a jealousy so rancid
burnt deep incisions
a love undone killed life
an anger that she did not own
coursed through the veins
burning
scalding the senses into numbness
an agony pierced the heart
as darkness danced in its depths
a restlessness
drained the brain
as she sat still by the window
hatred
spluttered in spasms
beneath the thundering calmness
brewed a storm
whirling
whizzing
dizzying silences kept up the show of life
