Encased

12-31-12 Started out good with bits of awesomeness, then got all screwy. I need to do something else with it, but don't know what.

I’ve been trying to write for days

But words have so far escaped me

Not because of a shortage of emotion

For my heart is broken

But more like my emotion is locked up

Hidden behind tainted glass

Unable to see its entirety

For I only see in part

 

I can’t say I understand

For I don’t know why

My heart is locked behind this cage

I guess one can only express so much

Till the emotions start to encase them

Jailing their very soul

Dulling their senses till nothing is left

Nothing but raw nerve

 

Seemingly more is heaped on

Heaped upon my already burdened shoulders

Not to mention the memories

Thrown into my face

How could one grasp it all

When more is thrown on top

How could one stay sane

 

Burnt beyond recognition, maybe that is why

So fried from the overload of emotion

That I can’t possibly express what I feel

For it is all melted together

Melted into a burning mess of pain

Engulfed in such a flame that I can’t even look at it

For my body would melt under the heat and intensity
