THE WALLS DON'T TALK

I wish
i had someone,
to argue with.

the walls,promise:
peace.
they merely suffocate you,
with silence.

i want to have
a living-
person.

one, i will never own.

one, who can argue
with me
and, help me
feel:
real.

silence, makes me feel
divisible.
many parts of a badly crafted:
puzzle.

do i even exist?

Hello

Especially like the last stanza.

silence, makes me feel
divisible.
many parts of a badly crafted:
puzzle.

Nothing I see need to change

Very true. Thank you for sharing.
