Untitled-3 8-27-05

Intense does my heart  ache
I bleed red just like you 
I cry  real tears like everyone 
I breathe in deep the ocean air
I put everything I had at  stake
I bet against the devil for you
Retreating , I hide in darkness from everyone
Nestled in  silence I stare
Darkness fills my senses
Dampness consumes me 
The pain so intense I cry
Tears of sorrow and grief I hide
My heart  gripped with  fear since 
You have mutilated me 
My  thoughts drift  away like a sigh 
In this  tortured prison where I abide.
