All the feelings
Pressure
Kept inside
Left for good measure
And informed
Of lover's hate
The only time to compensate
Before
There's no more
Hurting until you're agonizingly sore
The point of every day seems lost
And everything you love comes with a cost
Dwelling is part of everyday life
Loving just adds to the strife
Tormented by what you have become
Irony no longer overcome
By light
And still you wait for the pain to end
For your broken heart
To mend
Let the passion seep
Through the hurt your sentenced to keep
Forever
And still
The scream is shrill
Escaping your lips and all goes numb
Succumb
To the dark
Author notes
"Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief." - C.S. Lewis
