seethe through my veins like
rivers through the valleys
where companions turn to strangers
and they use your gifts, with no reminders of where they came from

i had it all
but lost it to the poison in my brain
the chemical imbalance
driving me insane

where silent tears fell
and drowned the words bubbling in your throat
trace the footsteps back to where
you first went wrong

let your betrayals turn to placid numbness
and that space they left in your heart,
fill it with cement
to dry and cool

for a heart as pure as yours
does not deserve to
be so hollow
