A Losing Battle

By Simply-Me-20104 •

How can pain be so numbing And silence like drumming? Surrounded but I’m alone In a house but not a home The darkness, there to stay As the pain just eats away Til’ you’re hollow, dried out Not a breath left to shout My arms ache from reaching My hands, beseeching Something to make me sane Anything to dull the pain Fingers find the piercing edge Toes wander to the ledge Legs and arms bear the flaw Of these times I start to fall The flowing pulls me back And I try to hide the cracks But the deeper in they pry Makes it harder not to cry Each morning, every night I can’t keep up this fight I’m losing it, I’ve lost Wonder what it will cost Has a disaster been declared? Can the damage be repaired? So hard to be hopeful in this- Sucked into a lurid abyss So alone and so aggrieved Don’t mind the tears I bleed 11-7-2012 9:43pm
