The Dark

kaleidoscope fear  
in shades    
of red, grey & black  
turn inside me  
   
causes me to bleed  
caustic thoughts  
that fall on my mind  
the colors tumble  
& i'm left with dread  
   
fear has left me  
in a state of despair  
as I keen  
with wails unheard  
the darkness  
has taken me into its grip  
   
no drink can quell  
what's eating me alive  
sleep a temporary escape  
   
a thick fog of depression  
covers my landscapes  
so dense I can't see  
the suns of tomorrow  
   
as I slip sideways  
in my thinking  
I reach for poetry    
to steady me  
   
the words I try to stuff in a box  
are made of wax  
when the heat is on  
they melt & drip away  
   
I can't contain them  
these words that mock  
talk back & slap me in the face  
   
I don't know where I'm headed  
this is a dead end
