Desperate Struggles

Breaking

Tearing

Ripping your

Heart out

Wounds unhealed

Struggling to

Breathe

Hands stained

Red

Knowing

Feeling

Living a

Lie

Eyes seeking

A distance

Miles

Out of

View

Bottling

Holding

Concealing the

Truth

Cries

Unheard of

Cloaked in the

Dark spaces of

Loss

Fading

Vanishing

Slipping from

The world

Cheeks wet

With tears

Life hanging

From a

Thread

Hoping

Searching

Reaching for

Existence

Numb all

Over

Emotions fleeing

Sinking fast

Till nothing’s

Left
