loss and longing

the nights are empty and all the emotions that i keep at bay during the day come howling out.


a shrieking banshee lives inside me; the whole day long, i feel her beating her hands against the cage.. i ignore her,
but at night she unlocks the cage and steps out .. she is a creature of the night and reigns until dawn when yet again i push her back down into her prison

another day that i dread to face but must do so. pin on a smile, get busy and manage to forget the utter horror that has overturned life.
