A longing ache has settled in
Took hold
Body and soul
Anguished heart is drenched in sin
I've missed the chaos of losing control
A rosebud sprouts darkness
Into bloom inside
My thoughts turn morbid I guess
Towards death or suicide
Raw emotions torture mind
Trust a rare commodity
Truth is challenging to find
Light impossible to see
Strength no longer fills bones
So difficult to accept
Something inside sinks like stones
Pretend I don't feel the effect
Hiding behind bursting false assurance
Behind closed doors
All the while wandering without insurance
Own chains will lift off the floor
I lost faith in what's above
Realizing vulnerability shows
The very thing I am afraid of
My unspoken woes
If only to soothe throbbing
Live in a state of peace
Fully expose the root of my sobbing
Stripped entirely of suffocating release
Dust creeps down throat
Then recedes
Plant regrets in the mud
Sprung like dandelion weeds
Invisible blades in my gut
Friends twisting handles carelessly
To and fro feelings spun then stopped
Chase fragments of what we'll never be
Off ground pick up the heart that dropped
Wandering world in a state of defeat
As I seek tomorrow
Side to side on clumsy feet
Under weight of all my sorrow
