Pain

(for competition "Pain")



Years of fighting an infestation
of despair, with infinite agony,
realizing, that the world wont care
is real.
It is all I breathe.

Whatever cures the shredded-hearted
does not exist within my reach.
All hope and dreams and the strength that bleeds,
is abandon.
It is gone from me.

I've tried each day - thousands of times
to find a reason, that my soul exists.
To no avail, beating on my mind,
I yearn,
for just one last kiss.

But no,
I'm in a darkness low.
Farther down under where no one may go.
Frightened,
it consumes this need.
It can't be saved,
this Pain I feed.

Hollow,
I beg for forgiveness.
