Natasha StubbsEnnis Poems

Banging on the windows,
Let me out,
Death surrounds me,
Torture and torment,
...

The smoke.
The flames,
Orange flames,
Rising,
...

If you’re still alive,
Call my name,
If you’re still alive,
Tell me you’re not in pain,
...

They deny me the thing,
That keeps me going,
The only thing that keeps me on my feet,
They hide it from me,
...

Save my broken soul,
From the depths of misery,
Save it from the tornado of tears to come,
Save it from my mind undone,
...

I’m lurking beneath the shadows
Where scattered bones a lay
By night I watch the daunting
Dead innocent men pay.
...

This ghost haunts the street,
On this night,
A murder scene,
The knife hides in the coat she wears,
...

There’s blood in my mouth,
The sheets are turning red,
I can’t go on,
This blood,
...

More, I need more,
I haven’t had a dose,
For about three days.
My blood needs it,
...

It was always her choice,
She’d open another bottle,
Pour another glass,
Waste another night away,
...
