This hole in my soul is devouring me
Casting gray on each day overpowering me
While I cry from my eyes my spirit shakes
No longer hoping, barely coping with each breath I take
Is it rejection? Or my reflection that keeps me here
The present cast or characters past that my heart can scarcely bear
I curl undead in my bed my skin on open sore
Would give my all to stop withdrawal from the touch that is no more
How can this be, I was so free, even though holding back
I thought aware and did not fear, a complete surprise attack
The cold stone that has been thrown weighing my chest down
Each step a cringe a torturous binge on a horrific merry-go-round
The agony real though well concealed to those who choose not to look
Quite sanely, very plainly, tangible words in my book
I’ll quickly mend—I do pretend—and seize control of each day
But meals and showers are limited powers to keep the anguish at bay
These musing writings, are my fightings, ways to keep me sane
Masochist exploring yet the sadist ignoring the causes of my pain
Distressful urgency a lesser emergency with the rising of the sun
The midnight pain temporarily wanes and give way to a stuporous numb
I see no mend or healthy end in any future for me
Sounds melodramatic but grounded in fact it is more misery.
