Piles Of Ash
Tethered
To this tortured soul
Tuned
To morose feelings
Existence
Merely breathes
Burning a hole
In my heart
The unrest of yesterday
Still scratches
At my heels
With every attempt to sleep
Death hangs heavy
Over my shadow
As I lay here
A stagnant corpse
Weary so weary
Of poisonous thoughts
Burning my sanity
Into neat piles of ash
To this tortured soul
Tuned
To morose feelings
Existence
Merely breathes
Burning a hole
In my heart
The unrest of yesterday
Still scratches
At my heels
With every attempt to sleep
Death hangs heavy
Over my shadow
As I lay here
A stagnant corpse
Weary so weary
Of poisonous thoughts
Burning my sanity
Into neat piles of ash

Wow -- could be read as an BDSM metaphor with the Dark, Your depression
and in that lack of light
an impressive outpouring of darker ink
However You meant this spill to be
i found it captivating and thought it to be well spilled, Brother

Yes,
You could co-author with many a like-minded spiller here or somewhere else on the planet....
BUT WHY??
is there nothing to incite Your heart to a higher vibration, Brother?
Love is not EVERYTHING in our ethereal universe as many a Yogi or Shaman might have us to believe!!

i can definitely envision what You say
but if with us
You would not get to just sit back and rant;
You would have to be in Cahoots and be an active
spilling contributor

I like the chilling ending, the irony of it, I can relate to 'the unrest of yesterday' , especially when it keeps you awake late enough to become that and the days blend together into one continuous bleed of sanity..
