Emotion Sickness

by Rey Severs   Aug 28, 2014


Pull, pull away.
I cannot wake up to face the day,
Slipping, this breath,
The world ripping it from my chest,
No, no tears,
Only anger, only fears,
Cracks, heal the cracks,
Never think, never look back.
Nightmares, every, every night.
I want to give in, not lay here and fight,
Drowning, drowning in emotion,
My head is a mess, full of commotion.
Lies, lies spill from my lips,
This heart continues to endure every hit.
It burns, burns like a fire inside.
I have only doubts, null is pride.
Choking, gasping, oxygen escaping.
I want to be free, but there is only waiting
Don't touch me, don't come near!
I have already gone, I am not here!
Cold, become cold,
It is safer here than being bold.
Cement, coat the pain with cement,
No more cracks, this heart cannot be bent.
Fire, fire in my eyes,
My heart is slowing as it begins to die.
Rip, tear, slash.
For every feeling, a slice, a gash.
Stop, don't do it, don't ever feel!
If I don't feel, the pain won't be real!
Just leave me, leave me be.
Forever silenced...I am no longer me....

    a gripping piece...I have to hold my breath as I read. I like the repetition made in every line, they added to the intensity of the emotions being expressed. And the ending is great! Love this!
