A tight, hot knot
strangles my insides
Constricting my chest
crushing my heart
until it shatters...

"Not good enough"

Such thought, accursed!
A loop of torment
Placed by the devil
Inside my head.

When will this self-flagellation
come to a halt?

A quaint beginning,
marked by visions of grandeur.
What torment is this?
Bryn Kennell Jul 2020
Lyrics of pain
A song so dark

She had no shield
Inhaled the words
Right into her heart

Melody severed
Just danced along
A tree in the wind
Enslaved to the song in her head

Black dress
Tears of red
Heart a rose
An open wound
Bleeding petals
Dedicated to my grandfather, all others we have lost, and all who grieve.

I could feel my fathers gaze as I played with the food on my plate.

β€œAspen, are you okay?”
The wire in my throat tightened,
rain poured from my eyes.
I can smile and say yes to anyone but you and mom.

Here,
take my fragile heart,
it is yours to break

Here,
take my tormented soul,
it holds but agonizing pain

Here,
take my sleepy eyes,
they have shed enough tears

Here,
take my whole body,
I wish to disappear completely
Ode to Radiohead. I hope Thom Yorke is having a beautiful day.

One thing, I like the most;
Of pain, It doesn't step back;
Of the obligations out of lack
And even never let you lost.


The condiment of the pain:
It just Burns-in your vein;
Never quenched but remain,
Like a flame of the chain.


It didactics integrity:
Of the virtual connection in the middle-
Of pair of insanity, who never fiddle,
With each other the game of animosity.


Composed by Urooba Fatima.
This poem is about the relationship between human and pain.
