Desperate

Curled up here

Trying to keep the pain

Bottled inside

Trying to contain it

But it spreads

Rapidly like a disease

Spider webs of hurt

Branching out

Starting in my heart

Slowly consuming my being

Until I can’t see

And I want to scream

I want to cry

Make it stop

Take the pain away

Let it out

Before it’s all

That’s left of me

It flows

Through my veins

Seeking an escape

In desperation

I’ll let it out

I’ll let it all

Flow from me

Until there’s none left

It sets me free

Knowing the pain

Will all be gone

I’ll do it

Even if it

Takes me too

Even if it

Destroys me

At least

I’ll be free…
