Itch So Deep

by Andrew Packard   Jan 20, 2013


I got an itch so deep
Feels like a weevil drilling into my skin
Never before did it seep
into my soul like Sin

I'm being pelted somehow
by pins and needles
Seem helpless now
In Fettered Shackles

Eyes nailed shut
Can't move inside my mortal limbs
Writhing inside my gut
Paralyzed from Within

Can't reach it
Where it should be Scratched
Just won't quit
Feelings coming unattached

Rushing Wind
Awake inside The Mighty Oak
Breathe it in
Myriad of Life's little joke
