the light hurts my eyes
and I really wish I could get rid of
this down to the bone
ache
it feels like I am retreating
into myself
like a daisy who hates the sun
like at any moment
this macabre rhythm could cease
while my heart
implodes
I am losing
everyone
and everything
and nothing, no one
can hear me
from behind my wall of water
on my knees
beside a row of streetlights
that cast on the road, a stained yellow beauty
and there is a silence in my scream
that only they can hear
so maybe I’ll just write it all down
and no one will ever have to know
because they can’t see me
through their happy tears
or hear me
over the laughter

perhaps you could sharpen it. for example:
I am losing
everyone
and everything
and nothing, no one
can hear me
from behind my wall of water
on my knees
beside a row of streetlights
that cast on the road, a stained yellow beauty
and there is a silence in my scream
that only they can hear
so maybe I’ll just write it all down
and no one will ever have to know
because they can’t see me
through their happy tears
or hear me
over the laughter
between each of these stanzas, there seems to be another stanza lurking. to me, it would be a better, less choppy flow if there was a softer transition.
