The Pain I Feel Inside
The pain I feel inside
is empty and it’s dull
and sinking
and throbbing
and slow.
Like a broken heart,
but with no obvious
cause at all.
Loneliness sets in
and the room gets dark
as I prepare my sin.
One more time
the feeling’s gone
not forever —
but least 'til morn.
I let it in and let it go
it takes a second but —
Oh, I feel it now!
I sink into the floor,
it wraps around me
and I feel warm.
the Sweetness hits me now
and I become
one with the ground.
It morphs around me
and within me and
consumes me in a blanket —
My blanket gives me comfort
and silence in my head.
My thoughts all stop
and I surely don't feel pride
but I do no longer feel
the pain I feel inside.
