I am so tired of this constant leak. This dripping, pathetic leak of wanting. Wanting, wanting, wanting like a dog at a locked door that doesn’t even have a handle. It is an insult to be this alive and this weak. It is a sickness in the marrow. I want to rip the "need" out of my throat. I want to rip the "yearning" out of my chest. I want to rip every single soft thought out of my head and set them on fire just to watch them scream. Why am I a slave to a pulse? Why am I a vessel for this hollow, aching thing? I hate the air because it feels like a ghost of them. I hate the light because it shows me I’m alone. I hate the silence because it’s a megaphone shouting their name into every corner of my skull. Again and again and again and again. A hammer hitting the same raw nerve. It’s pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s a joke. I am supposed to be a fortress of iron and spite, but here I am, shaking like a leaf over a memory. Forget the heart. Forget the love. Forget the hope. I want to be a void. I want to be a stone. I want to be anything but this desperate, panting thing. I am done. I am so done with the hunger. Stop the clock. Stop the blood. Just let me be empty for one second without the ghost of a feeling trying to claw its way in. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Just get out.
