Filling


Aching,

Screaming,

Pounding Pain,

Spin my world and Split my brain.

 

It hurts,

It mars,

It swells,

Just rip it out and Wish me well

 

Gold,

Copper,

Cement,

Whatever penny need be Spent

 

Gas,

Needle,

Pill,

Knock me out and do your Will, but the

 

Aching,

Screaming,

Pounding Protest

That Ends my World and Breaks my Breast

 

It hurts,

It mars,

It swells,

A broken Heart has no Qualms,

 

No Gold,

Copper,

Nor Bronze,

Ebbs the Flow of Niobe’s Tears

 

The unstoppable power

Of Heartbreak

Of Trembling Earthquake

Sobs

 

Pull My Hair

And Rip my Clothes

in Sorrow

Eating away like Venom

 

But alas

There

Ahead

Blazes a Fire

 

Lighting Men

Emblazing the Earth

Calming Wisdom

of Calamity

 

You fend the

Vultures

from my Raw side

and Scorching Stone

 

Pry the World

from my

Shoulders

with Herculean Strength

 

Collect the Acidic

Hate

Dripping upon my Eyes

With Saintly Virtue

 

You fill the Hole

Burned through my Heart

with but a Butterfly’s

Kiss of Your Love
