I believe that the eyes

truly are the windows to the soul

and I don't want you looking in.

I'm going to buy blackout curtains

glue them shut from your view,

take the broken wood

from what's leftover of my resolve,

patch it together,

board up the windows,

and paint on it

"VACANT"

because there's nothing left

I want anyone to see.

Using the bricks from the crumbling walls

falling down inside my mind

I'll cement it all closed

and put up the sign:

"UNINHABITABLE"
