Poem: Downward Facing Spiral

 Downward facing spiral

Bubbles of gasping breaths 

Beats of thrown off rhythms 

Threadbare and war torn hearts

Harrowing drumrolls like thunder 

Warnings of past storms

Similar patterns 

Bleeding doors

And

Worn out screams 

Wallpapered walls freshly scared

With sunflower blooms 

Of fists slammed there

Bruised finger tips

And ripped nails from their beds

If only shredding memories

Was as easy as it seemed

But we all suffer ghosts

Who internally scream
