Empty Corridor Fixation
By glasshouse
She lost her breath
Her balance
Her ability to
See beauty
(---This beholder
Has no eye
And never
Saw the light of day---)
She found her heart
Left pounding
Like a peeled tomato
Every beat
Exaggerated
Against the hard wood floor
His fixation
Left her speechless
Left her gasping
Left her bleeding
In the aisle
And the corridor
Was empty
Save for the demons
Left to haunt her
She cried for him
She gave her soul
She’d die for him
If he’d make her whole again
She only wanted
To be whole again
But she became toxicity
And he was waiting for her

"But she became toxicity". Nice twist at the ending. Compelling and nicely crafted. I love the metaphor of how She found her heart... there is a very nice rhythmic flow/structure to this poem.
