I shout; I scream --

I throw myself at your feet

I cry; I sob --

I wish for this emptiness to be filled

I slash away the pain

And broken promises

Anger replaces love;

Replaces heartache

Joy seems to have been stolen from me

Innocence masked with stone

I would rather feel numb,

Than feel this unbearable pain

I lay at your feet again,

Screaming in agony

"This pain! Make it go away!

Make it stop!"

Screaming through sobs,

Curling up - within myself

Holding my arms across my chest

And whisper your name

You, who let me go --

Who pushed me way

Who took back those words,

Who broke your promises

Who assured me not to doubt 

Your love for me

The sobs are more consistent, 

The screams are getting louder

I bellow out, through the storm

Brewing inside me

"Help me! Release me! 

Make me whole again!"

No one answers

Still, only my broken sobs

My breathing becoming 

Rapid gasps for air

I fling out my arms,

Reaching for hope

Or am I just surrendering my very being?

Is my soul lost in this abyss, this void?
