Unable to face the walls of reality.
She coughs up lies & insecurities.
Her wrist bound & tongue-tied, constant;y pushed aside.
Nights seem to last longer thanks to insomnia.
Her conscience taunts her while tangled thoughts cross each other.
Putting pressure upon how she makes her choices.
She scared if her eyes close and sleeps too long his face will erase from her memory.
Emotions pull her one way, while logic crashes her into the other.
The screaming voices cloud her head causing her to toss and turn in bed.
Remembering the night his blood spilt over the floor.
She remained sobbing over his cold body with his green eyes wide open,her body crushed.
Far from his reach she was immobile no chance of saving him did she have.
She awakens from nightmares in a cold sweat clutching his team jacket in hopes of not forget his smell or his touch.
She lost the use of her legs along with the ability to sleep.
Each night she attempts sleep.
Redness beneath her eyes and hollowness within them.
Fragments of a past love embedded in her skull.
She's had enough of all these sleepless nights watching pictures facing down unbearable to look at.
The nights she sleeps her dreams always end in the same way with him in her dream saying.
"Le séjour avec moi pour toujours[Stay with me forever]".

Wowww. I was completely blown away by this. The first stanza was absolutely jaw-dropping, and held so much meaning & emotions to it. The power dripped from the page and was just wow. Incredible, more or less.

I love the metaphor in that last line. You related to such a sickening feeling in that line. It was brilliantly penned, all the same. I'm sure many, like myself, have felt like this before, and you penned it flawlessly. Thank you for entering & best of luck to you
Keep it up ! ♥

Amazinggg portrayal of imagery there. I loved the metaphor of 'coughing up lies and insecurities'.
~The screaming voices cloud her head causing her to toss and turn in bed.~
I'm not sure why, but this line jumped out to me, lol. I just like how you worded it && the idea of 'screaming voices clouding someone's head'. So true for all of us, I'm sure, at sompoint in our lives.
