emotional pain threshold

this threshold of emotional pain
kept within the upper torso of us 
all,
is like a detonator 
waiting to go off,
waiting to shut us down,
waiting to send us running amok
with nothing left to lose,
with no more hope in the want to 
gain
anything---
when the bleeding inside is so
fierce that the mind & heart no longer
cooperate,
when everyone that you’ve known 
to get you through before,
no longer surfaces anymore help,
every sign in your head
is pointing at the finish line &
enough,
is the only conclusion
enough,
is the only conclusion
enough, 
is the only conclusion & 
it vibrates endlessly throughout
&
that very vibration 
counts down the remaining
moments.
