It Leaked Out


Things That Go Bump in the Night 

I thought it was something to be scared of
Then I realized what that sound was.
My heart is now in the glass trophy case 
With a hard, stony middle and shiny, bronze base.
It doesn’t get to hit the floor 
When I roll over anymore.
I can sleep with all the other strange sounds 
That choose the dark time to make their rounds.
I can no longer hear nor feel the quake
That my heart breaking seems to make.
