She died today
I fell from squinting eyes wrenched with pain
Through ocular lids squeezed together as if in a vice
I rolled down feverish cheeks in an attempt to make my escape
Only to fall to my own death, soaking into cotton fabric as if it were where i belonged all along
I am Wally’s tears.
She died today
I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline course through me as if hit by lightning
My outer shell began to harden and crack as I fought against this unseen force trying to over take me
The cracks began to grow, and in a matter of seconds, it did not matter anymore
No matter how hard I tried, I could not stay together
I broke.
I shattered into thousands of tiny pieces across the floor, as if I was thrown there in anger.
In desperation I reached for pieces of myself. Trying to somehow pull myself together.
But the damage is done. I am broken.
I am Wally’s Heart
She died today
I shook for what seemed like hours
My body sweats like a man on a Georgia chain gang
I wrung myself together with my mirrored twin till it hurt
I am Wally’s hands
She died today
It was as if I could not control myself
I saw my brother begin to move first
Then I followed closely behind
We began a chase for first place
He and I both taking turns leading
Through hills and holes
On asphalt, grass and dirt
Searching for a place to kill the pain
I am Wally’s feet
She died today
And there was nothing we could do…
