THIS SICKNESS

By: JB Murray © July 2010

 

 

And so Chaos ensues

Every time I close these eyes

Lurking in the depths

Of my soul if only I had one

It seeks it Triumph

It never hesitates to ponder

To question

Insatiable

It tears at the seams

 

Symbolic in nature

These gestures I make

Some feeble attempt to calm

Its ever-biting teeth

It gnaws

And snarls

Consuming my Sadness

An ever-present scavenger

Picking at the flesh

 

I wait for some Signal

Some amiable sign

An end to this madness

So far from freedom

Yet so close to death…
