Sad

This despair crawls the length of my soul
Dragging its nails along my bones
It butchers my resolve with gnashing teeth
As it hammers its sickness into my meat

This sorrow beats upon my brow
Leaving me twisted with a guttural growl
It drives its darkness into my core
Picking to pieces, inflicting sores

Where it lays its eyes, it breeds
Ripping my heart out before it feeds
A lump of emotion without a taste
Devouring sadness leaves me to waste
