Witness

they’re just the walls of a closet
only they witnessed what happened here
she can hear them.
can you hear them?
no one can hear them
no one can hear
her.

it only took a few minutes

but shes been trapped here
between these walls
for years.

unable to open the door and let them speak

scream.

shhh
in denial of this disease.
-addiction
she’ll never tell.
a fantasy
to forget.

she’ll tear down those walls,
eardrums exploding
the only
witness.
