You broke into me,
vandalized this heart of mine
until it was emptied,
wore in this untested body
until it was spent.
I broke off from you,
severed all ties with sanity
as memories drove me mad,
dissolved contact with hope
since intuition had lied.
I had a breakdown,
mind shut off temporarily,
because light could not
penetrate where darkness
had taken up residence.
All I need is to break out,
escape these thoughts
that claim my insides;
I want skin to swell up
with faith and burst open.
