The Storm Brewing Inside
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?
