Unspeakable Pain
A DARKNESS HAS OVERSHADOWED ME WITH A SADNESS THAT IS
OVERWHELMING.
NUMBING MY SPIRIT, FREEZING MY SOUL AND LEAVING ME COLD.
LONELINESS DROPPED ON ME LIKE A HOT POTATO.
SHAKING ME INTO ISOLATION.
MY HEART IS SHATTERED AND MY MIND IS HALLUCINATING.
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS THE WAY I FEEL THEY SEEM TO DISAPPEAR FROM
MY MOUTH.
AFTER THE SHOCK LEFT MY BODY THE TEARS BEGAN TO FLOW FROM MY
EYES.
I SCREAMED UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I WAS BREATHLESS.
MY MIND BEGAN TO RACE AND MY HEART BEGAN TO ACHE.
ASKING MYSELF HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE.
I WAS LEFT IN DISBELIEF BY SOMEONE THAT I CARE FOR SOMEONE THAT I
LEANED ON.
NOW I AM ALL ALONE DIGGING FOR ANSWERS TO WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED.
WHY HAS THIS COME ABOUT THE RUG HAS BEEN PULLED FROM UNDER MY
FEET.
WHERE MY HEAD AND THE GROUND SOON MEET.
WHAT MORE IS THERE FOR ME TO SAY BUT THAT I MUST CARRY ON EACH
DAY.
WHILE DARKNESS LURKS IN MY PRESENCE.
