Unfortunate Presence

Unfortunate Presence

A Poem by Alicia Santos

Take this, they said
You'll feel better, they said
instead, I feel nothing
nothing but the blood rushing through and pouring out of my veins
nothing but the beating of my heart, slow
nothing but the quiver of my lips grow with intensity
The sun feels brighter these days but my mind stays in the dark
the figures dancing around my head glare at my with those yellow eyes
the same eyes that I've seen in my dreams; and now my nightmares
Shivers run up and down my spine
The night is no longer mine, but theirs

it says at the top still working on it... or i wouldn't have said that... very descriptive work
DAMN!

I know what you mean though, the nothingness but the workings of your own body. Sometimes it feels good, sometimes you want to scream to the sky and ask for a life more ...fulfilling.
