Poem: Screaming in my head
Horrid dreams slicing skins
Bleeding from festering wounds
Never healing
Hold out my open arms
Reaching for nothing
Held down by sorrow's hand
Plunge headfirst into the icy waters of the abyss
Hold fast fleeting thoughts of happiness
Swim in the shallow waters of despair
Righteous hand held at bay
Fighting the dark waters of melting dreams
Drowning in a sea of untamed thoughts
Weak from endless horrors and wounds left deep
Horror fills the night and sadness the days
Walking on broken glass
Blood pools
Then runs cold
Still standing
No will to be
Lost in this endless void
Lost within me
...
