The Pain Inside

I am torn open,
Laid bare before my soul
Rent and reeling,
Pain devouring me whole

Agony coiled tight
Wound up inside my heart
I feel I can’t hold on
This pain is tearing me apart

Blood spills out upon cold stones
My wounds are open and raw
Pain is searing into me
Where once I held such awe

I’m stumbling through this darkness,
Desperate to find my way out
I’m clawing at these chains that bind me,
This all encompassing doubt

I’m drowning in these tears of hate
This scourge upon my soul
I’m lost inside my tortured mind
As I finally lose control...
