And the flakes of sorrow drip from my eyes
dissolving into a pool
reflecting my empty soul
My face distorted
Ripples of shame and guilt
Someone’s finger piercing the pattern
Exploding my heart from within
And the blood spreads
The floor red and deep
I can no longer see myself
Where is my form?
The outline a haze
Fuzzy thoughts and feelings
Self doubt, self crucifixion
Labelling myself, crying out in horror
and pain
A thousand needles pricking my eyes
Where the pupils dilate
and the colour contracts
As I look out onto this world
This plane of nothing
I know I have lost my way
The blood has reached my neck
And I can no longer swim
