The Walls Have Ears
October 9, 2016
They don’t have eyes but they see it
His desire to please
His misery in being alone
His longing for lasting love
They don’t have fingers but they feel it
His calloused hands
The sting in his eyes
The chronic pain in his heart
They don’t have a nose but they smell it
The rotting thought of going home
The stench of burned dreams
The walls have ears
They can hear his cry

When you are alone you are your most pure self. Only you and the walls know how you feel.
