Better Off Alone??
I hike alone, feet dragging through the surface
A trail of blood is left in my path
Confusion clouds my conscious minds' cogs.
My air ceases its flowing as all effort is put to keeping the scream in
My eyes search for the crimson's source. . .
Am i wounded by the lack of words?
The lack of love?
The loneliness that reeks havoc upon my soul?
The air pushes at the walls of my lugs, it burns
I begin to slowly let it slip from my lips when its path is
abruptly stopped
Constriction. . .confusion. ..
There is a heart in my hands.
It is broken and bloodied
No wonder i feel nothing, I am senseless
The heart is no longer connected
It barely, barely beats
My inner demons screech and claw at my skin
They call to their comrades seated in the depths of despair
I can feel them cracking the surface
They push through
I no longer have the will to run, to hide
What is the point?
Would anyone hear me scream?
Would it matter if i'm gone?
They know the answer, that is why i'm preyed upon
The same things the others said
That i was better off dead
This they know, they feed upon my anguish
As my scars grow
