Shattered

By patndoris on May 15, 2009 | In Lunacy, Poetry

Raw skeletal fingers of fear

Protruding from my heart

Slowly gash the rotting flesh

Of broken dreams apart

Dripping blood

Streaming tears

The illusion slowly dies

With every beat

Life oozes out

Haunting pain

Sears my eyes

The smell of grief

The stench of death

Anger

Anguish

Pain

The unimaginable abyss of loss

Courses thru my veins again

The impenetrable sinister sticky air

So clotted I can scarcely breath

I gasp-

I choke-

A cry slips out

I can only watch you leave

Tao of Lunacy
