Why do I cry, turn myself in side out. Can u see the screams in my eyes no I doubt it, but life goes on when all this traffic in my brain serves to cease then sustain.  What's the root of my life is it to have children and find a wife, I've done that already and it caused me strife but I don't regret anything in my life. Mistakes i don't regret karma's abait, sometimes we have to leave it to fate.

So I don't know where this is going, but I don't think I ever truly do.
My mind is full,
full to the point of overflowing
But still,
I am alone.
Even the thoughts which constantly fight to gain attention are of no solace.
They do not make me feel alive
they do not make me feel at all.
With all of the happenings that are occuring you would think I would care
but there is no care left in me to give.
I do not even care for the bone and flesh that is my body.
How am i to care for anything else?
I often gather the blankets,
hide away from the world
at the bottom of my bed
where no one can get me
nothing matters
but the deepest darkness which surrounds my form
the heat from my breath which cannot escape so returns to warm me
the rough feel of the woolen blanket against my bare skin.
reminding me
that i am still a part of this crazy world
with all its living
breathing
feeling
things
my arms wrap tighter around my chest
fingers round ribs,
falling into the gaps between each bone
still pressing
still holding
the sharp taste of blood reaches my nose as
in a futile attempt to abait the darkness
each finger delves into fleshing.
pushing
pushing
until the blood rises

though still,
it comes
the screams and the fear

I'm not as patient as I could be
New trials today
In yesterday's courts
I am humbled
Against my faults
Bare witness to me
Hands open
Palms bleeding
I will not forget
The weight of your words
Be they shackles
Around my neck
Bracelets on my wrist
An unbeautiful adornment
There are no forgotten here
Among tombstones
These etchings belong to ghosts
Hollow souls filling up the earth
She was barren once
Now she lays in sonder graves
Of her children
They do not acknowledge her
She spins her regrets
On wooden looms
Memories woven
Back when the earth was black
I lay here, still, unmoving
Formless and void
Fill me up again
Let me taste of laughter
I bit it once
From your lips
This is the craving
That will not abait
My veins know better
Than the wisdom of my head
Lay me down
In the valley
Between the mountains
I knew you once
Called you by name
Will you answer me again
In gentle humility
We are all on fire
I can't sit, to watch you burn
You are not made of sun
Stars, or the sky they belong to
Flames forget
I remember
I remember
I knew you once
Call me by name
I crave you still
Give yourself up
I will surrender
I remember

— The End —
