Desperation

Heartbreak

By Joseph ParkerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Just get over is all anyone would ever say

It's entirely in your head is another phrase I heard so many times, day after day

It's like a tidal wave pulling us further and deeper inward

Leaving an empty feeling that comes from inside

Just as the sea tosses restless, then does my soul

Every day I ask myself, will I ever again be made whole

I scream for help but no one is around to hear it

I'm falling apart slowly, bit by painful bit

My heart and my mind are so full of pain

Devouring what's left of my soul, oh so slowly, pushing me to the edge of lunacy

My demons appear more and more every night

As the torment progresses, it becomes evident that I'm losing this fight

Time is short and what's left of me is almost done

My soul sinks deeper into the abyss, leaving an empty shell, what was left of my humanity is now departed

The entity carves at my heart, taking its time

Almost like a nuclear bomb, ready to prime

Now all I can do is wait for the timer to go off and to pass away

Perchance it was always meant to be this way

Imagine standing on the galaxy's edge

No more reason on which to pledge

They say one person can only take oh so much

Which Is why now in my hand a knife I clutch?

As a silent tear falls to the earth

My body lies motionless and pale, Dark blood covers me all the way around
