Nope, not today

The sunlight creeps in.
I shut the blinds abruptly and
pull the covers over my head
more tightly.

Come out and play.

I can't today.

On my back rides heartbreak.
So, I succumb to the fatigue
hand in hand with sadness,
held hostage by darkness.

Untouchable

Paralyzed memories,
walking pain
never released,
always buried
eventually exhumed
consuming me,
burning anyone
that gets too close
Leave me,
please
untouchable
I don't want to
be.
