The forgotten killer

Hopelessness 
When your body and mind are disconnected 
When your falling in a sea of darkness and accept it 
When the silence is loud you can hear your heartbeat 

It's the feeling of a deep pit 
In your stomach
All the contents of your stomach being Consumed by it 
Replaced by the feeling of sickness
Leaving a taste of lingering bitterness
Creating an atmosphere in which you question what is the point of living When life feels so meaningless 
Clouding your thoughts and taking your happiness
Leaving you with nothing but emptiness

A lingering ache in your chest 
Rendering your heart stressed 
Pumping the tainted blood around your body, travelling to the mind leaving you depressed
Having to deal with the lifelong effects
