Some WayA Poem by E.V. BlackSome way I have to get away from it all.Some way I have to get away from it all. As much as it hurts, it will hurt even more if I don’t. The pain would consume me" eat me from the inside out like a bunch of ravenous, flesh-eating creatures" and carve a hollow space that rings with empty sound when touched.
Those creatures are my freedom. They are the fragile tears of space that ruin the complexity of this feeling. I would die to destroy them. I would die to let them live. They tear me apart even more than I already am. Escape is not possible. I can only hope to run, to save myself from impending tragedy.
Still, my eyes are drawn to the ever-growing void that exists where my heart once was. The creatures ate it for dinner and found it to be delicious. They continue to consume. Heaven help me. I cannot save myself. Only another can pull me out now. © 2013 E.V. Black |
