There’s a ripping pain so deep inside
I haven’t a corner within me to hide
It’s tearing shreds from my very soul
Leaving me in bits, nothing left whole
My blearing eyes can no longer see
For there isn’t anything sightly for me
My hands can’t touch anything real
As there’s no longer softness to feel
My stomach is dead, all twisted in knots
Veins are all black, filled up with clots
My legs can’t hold this weight any more
And my feet are nailed to this twisted floor
My heart is wrenched, all bloody and still
And a gaping hole in it with nothing to fill
Washing it with painful tears no longer works
As it struggles with all the tugging and jerks
It’s all in my head and I’m trapped inside
This feeling so deep that I wish I have died
Trying to sleep is an escape I have been denied
On a pillow soaking wet where I’ve cried and cried
My body in pieces all tattered and gore
I can’t take this level of pain anymore
I’m imprisoned within all of this grief
Clawing my way out for the chance of relief
Give me the day when it all goes away
But I’m scarred so deep it is here to stay
Even though I know there’s a place to heal
It’s not where I can go and I cannot appeal
So bury me deep with earthenly clay
Tomorrow is gone just like today
I belong under this dirt where I will stay
Not because I’ve given up…it’s just easier this way….
I look forward to the peace of the big dirt nap too. But tll then.....? Peace
