Swept Away

by jasmine cherry   Jan 18, 2010


There was a time
When the pain and hurt
Compressed around my heart
Creating a crust
That sheltered if from the outside world

The hurt inside would bubble
and cause a sweltering heat
Over time the heat would melt its container
and lightly crack the outside

A shot of hate from the surrounding world
would lodge its way into my heart
Surpassing the depths of my once glorious crust
and reaches it decrepit hands
right into the center of my soul

Twisting and turning
and finally spilling out my long suppressed feelings
of self hatred and loneliness
It leaked into my chest
and out the new gaping hole left in my soul
I never tried to close the would
but instead let it fester
I waited for the hole to consume my soul
and leave me completely empty

So now I am numb to all feelings
To all hate
To all love
And since pain is no longer an issue
My hollow casing just collapses onto its self
And is swept away by the gentle breeze
