I cannot hear, through the calls
aches and pains that consume me
wants are is succeeded by need
I am failing to fuel the demands
now, sweet bitterness eats at me
I cannot stop this hunger undying
this aching passion tormenting cruelly
it doesn't die, lasting too long
and I've not been this scared
since I stood at the edge of life
for I am not letting go to death
but achingly wanting it instead
what do I give to be again, free
can I give away for perhaps nothing,
everything that I had and value now
to quell the doubts raging within
I stumble endlessly but do not fall
afraid I could lay there whining
at simple scratches that barely bleed
I rise each time, hoping for the end
