Hello
Hello (By Cat Matchuk)
It has been years since I knew who I was.
What I stood for,
and now I fall, I believe no longer.
I protect no one.
Frantic Whispers
Frantic Whispers (By Cat Matchuk)
Recall every song,
recall every memory.
Whispers are frantic
your breath of hope could ache.
Tears of Salvation
Tears of Salvation (By Cat Matchuk)
Hands instantly reach up, cradling a broken nose. No matter how tight my hold is, the blood still seeps through my fingers. It drips down my arm and grows cold against the warm summer air.
And this is the way it has to be.
With a heavy sigh, my hands leave my face to push myself up from the ground. I begin walking down the dirt road. Trees are silhouetted against the setting sun, and really, it’s a gorgeous town.
Except the crops.
Shattered Glass
Shattered Glass (By Cat Matchuk)
It itches and burns
to crack open and smell the blood, wasn’t the intention.
Growing raw against silk sheets, I couldn’t fix it.

of my own flesh.
The wardens have wrapped my heart in wire.
Tied down by the demons
that hunt us.
I don’t mind being another taken,
one more.

I Wait (By Cat Matchuk)
Sounds muffled, musicians play to the night.
Off the water and across the sand,
I sit and wait for you.
