Pain

There’s a pain

From my brain

When I lie

And when I wake.

And there's no escape

From the terrifying pain.

 

Have you felt

Your spine  being crushed?

Have you felt

Your joints all coming out?

Or have you felt

Your nerves screaming

At the smallest of touches to your arm?

 

I feel death on my door

Each day when I wake,

I’m afraid

And I lay 

In my warm soft bed,

While my nerves explode my legs

And you still refuse to say

“ I get it, you're in pain."

  • Torn

    I don't see the way you see,

    But I see your orphic frame.

    I don't think the way you think,

    Yet I dream of your kalon.

    I believe your beauty is too deep,

    Too deep to just ignore.

  • Why?

    Why do you make me feel safe,

    Just to turn your back?

    Why do you act like you’re a friend,

    Just to terrorize the rest?

    I want to save you from your fears,
