Can you hear me?
I am crying.
My sorrow feels all engulfing
At the bottom of this pit.
I feel as I am drowning.
Can you hear me?
I am yelling.
My body drips
With the tar of the day.
My eyes are pouring.
Can you hear me?
I am sobbing.
I feel oh so weak.
My demons are calling
To remind me of what pain can be.
Can you hear me?
I am screaming
Into the nothingness
That my soul is approaching.
I am almost a shell.
But not quite.
But not quite.
