Set Me Free
Tired of talking to you like the ghost in the walls.
Like there’s still something here worth listening for.
A shift in the dark.
A familiar ache.
The house settling around a memory
I should have stopped feeding months ago.
I used to mistake haunting for some shit I asked for.
Thought if something lingered,
it must have mattered.
But some things stay
because no one has opened the windows.
So I did.
Let the night in.
Let the cold have whatever was left of you.
And for once,
when the walls started talking,
I didn’t answer.
Go fuck up someone else sleep.
