In an upside-down garden

There are smiles in the
numbers scrawled on the paper
but the frowns are all you see
when you look away and
her hand is shaking, tightly
grip the railing

nervous entities cure
anxiety with pain

You are tucking strands
of hair behind her ears now
grazing metal from the rings
that pierce her flesh, you are
sleeping slightly screaming
in her doorways

a grim tale of
everyone you have met

She is screeching, tears
are gleaming in her eyes now
she is clawing at the light
cloth of your shirt, you
are muttering apologies in
silence, as she whispers

"it won't hurt,
it won't hurt."

2 things... I like the content and how you drag on the lines to where if you had stopped the statement or thought at the end of what you were saying it would have carried an entirely different meaning, but you chose to continue on the next line.  Yeah, thats kinda cool.  

The second thing I like is you name: "Allysa."  I named my guitar Allysa.  I'll send you an e-mail explaining it as to not take away from your poem with an extra long response about me.

When the chain that holds my wallet
So tight and snug is broken,
Do I find the truth,
That I really own nothin.
