It’s nagging and hacking;
tearing at my brain-
The words, the memories,
the pain and the shame.
It snatches and catches
(At the edge of my sleep)
my mind; sends it reeling
to a shivering heap
of frustration and sorrow
and manic distress;
an unbearable weight
on my hollowed chest.
My heart is now writhing
somewhere on the floor
joined by the claw marks
as I crawl for the door.
Obsessed; claustrophobic
Mind-fucked and scattered
I can’t find the door;
I can’t find what matters.
Panic! I lay there
twitching and clawing
away at my flesh;
thrashing and gnawing
Hyper….ventilate….
God I can’t breathe;
Can’t purge you from my soul
to save part of me.
Defeat! Blank expression;
Then one final breath.
A single tear sliding
To greet my heart's death.
