It creeps up on you
Slowly and then all
At once, eats away
At your core until
You're left with this
Feeling that you're
No longer whole,
No longer together.
It's there with you
While you lay your
Head down to rest
And there when
You think it's time
To get out of bed
To get to the things
You've always wanted
To do but never
Quite had the time
To do them. It's
Cold and distant,
Chokes you out
As you try to speak
But all you can
Make of your vocals
Is a small voice
Trying to string
Words to make
Some sense just
To feel like you belong.
And it breaks you.
And it hurts.
So you cry until
There's no more
Tears left to cry.
