I cannot leave the darkness.
Even as my soul breaks between the
raggedly beating heartaches that curl around my ankles;
only to drag me back.
This place of rigid pain.

These are the pains that break a person.
The kind that slithers between cracks
in broken minds until all else withers;
leaving nothing.
But the pain is mine.
As my shivering hands pull ankles down;
my claws rend bone.
And any thoughts of a soul of
stone become dillusional dustclouds that cut and choke.
They say this is the darkness where great words linger and run.
If that be true,
I shall cut out my tongue.
