ugly in the corner

a sudden chill fills the room
where he sits facing the wall
no one there
the sounds tear at his ear drums
phantoms around and the wind whispers
at the stained windows
not much happening on the inside
the quiet finds his mind
can’t even vocalize his thought
wishing it would evaporate
pointless now as it always has been
standing ugly in the corner
swearing again that any heart ache
is impossible must be phantom pains
had that heart removed
probably kicking around
somewhere on the floor
ugly in the corner collecting dust
next to a broken mirror
with five years left…
