Screams

Bitter and corrosive Not like lemon juice-or vinegar Like battery acid Consumptive Skin falling off bone Glass house dreams crunching under haste Consuming Bone evaporating to ash Notions of forever lost on the wind Anger and dread All encompassing Screams trapped in lungs Torment Because they never loved you after all And maybe- just maybe No one is capable of loving you the way you love And your sentenced to a life of loneliness And it's like drowning, and burning, and falling- And suffocating and imploding And it just is and isn't, A burning question- Probably better unanswered But you ask it anyway And the thoughts and emotions do summersaults- And have fists fights in your mind Scratching at the steel bars on your brain trying to get out But if they escaped you wouldn't have anything to keep you up at night Salty and sour Not like tears dripping in your mouth Like a fist full of dead sea salt Fragile A heart that couldn't break any longer Just a pile of dust Gone Giving yourself to the darkness The skeletons sitting in the living room instead of hidden in the closet Heart ache All encompassing Screams trapped in lungs
