Tearing Inside
©April Dominello - 2004

Fading, falling into the darkness, slowly I cry.
Down, deeper into depression, my body begins to die.
Crumbling walls surround my every walking breath.
I watch, my vision clear, things are shaded, full of death.

Shedding tears, a stream of red rushes down my pale face.
A light shines below, luring, calling me from above into this place.
What dread I have felt to let such things imaginable behold?
Outside the wind whips at my body, I have never felt so cold.

Sorrow, it's what I feel digging into my mind.
Happiness dispatching away, into the darkened kind.
Inching into my flesh, the sadness tears its way inside.
Calling from somewhere far, I pled, I whine and I cried.

Finding myself, I fear that I've become lost in the search.
Falling now, my body flinches as it hits upon a Grey, olden perch.
Gone forever, my soul torn from the decaying life it once had.
Never feeling, never healing … There's nothing to take, nothing to add.

Eternity wasted upon a torn open and lifeless hope of love.
Blood pouring, wasting life, cold hands placed into the dove.
It peels away, revealing the ugly, lonely life it used to know.
Slowly it withers, the shell begins to rot, left for the feast of the crow.

Sorrow, it's what I feel digging into my mind.
Happiness dispatching away, into the darkened kind.
Inching into my flesh, the sadness tears its way inside.
Calling from somewhere far, I pled, I whine and I cried.

Pain endless, forever dwelling in a sea of blue hate.
It goes on, my feelings of this drama, a twisted fate.
Life goes on, a web of shattered, distorted and chaotic trends.
Nothing can save me from how it tragically ends.
