Entropy
by Jessica Lucci
Clutching the carpet
before I slide off the floor
Floated up the stairway
to hide with closed door
Edging parapet
above the woeful wind's roar
Knouted down the mainstay
can't take anymore
Inept Agony
by Jessica Lucci
My imaginary friend
Hovers over me
In my vacuum of grief
No air passes through my throat
To form the words "I'm sorry"
No life bursts through my veins
To feed my loving heart
I am the ghost I have created
My friend is no longer real to me
My soul mate, my partner
My loss
Goodnight, I'll Find You
by Jessica Lucci
I know you're out there somewhere
And I know you cannot see me
Your eyes are searched with every stare
Your voice enraptured with every plea
In my dreams I touch your hair
And my hand lingers as if free
I awake, illusion my prayer
The only way we can ever be
Floating on a Nightmare
by Jessica Lucci
Drifting on this ocean
'gainst my body's design
Had I a choice
I would sink through the brine
Drowning with devotion
I meant not to malign
Numbed, I devoice
death of true love divine.
