have you noticed

Have you noticed
my clothes don't fit me anymore
my skin has worn thin
in strategically painful areas
I can't finish sentences
thoughts flop off my tongue
and fall to the floor
My mind wanders
like a hungry and dying wolf
Words are clumsy tools to me
I break them like a brute
Have you seen my blankness?
The despair in my eyes
cannot possibly hide
Too many warnings
were left unheeded
Too many thoughts
were left all alone
Too many nights
I fraternized with devils
Where were you when the lights went out
when the walls began to crumble
when the windows rattled with screams
and I gave my soul to them
for one more night with you
I've borrowed too much time
and now it's time to pay
Well,
Have you noticed?
