I Am Undone

Here I’ve fallen down on the ground Slowly unravelling without a sound My stitches are now all broken and frayed My colour of skin has started to fade I am undone I am unfolding like bad origami Crushed beneath the weight of a tsunami Disintegrating like a tissue in rain Ignored by my love who can’t feel my pain I am undone Please lock me away in the darkest jail Let in no visitors don’t post any bail Leave me to bleed my heart is holed Let me unravel and let me unfold I am undone My spirit is weak it now sputters out I embrace the blackness without a shout I died all alone now on this cold floor Locked out of her heart with its steel door I am done
