Gnawing
There's something else here
I can hear it day & night,
week after month after year.
Never ending.
Gnawing away - inside me.
Eating away - inside me.
Whatever it is, it never goes away.
It never rests.
Even when I sleep, it's wide awake.
Gnawing away - inside my soul.
Eating away - inside my soul.
Like a set of demented teeth
chomping blindly around my
darkened soul.
It robs me of my ability to feel.
Feel any true love, true happiness, true goodness.
Casting a cloud over me and
filling me with a void.
I try to unzip myself in hopes
the "teeth" will gnaw itself
right out of me, but, instead,
more unwanted things slither into me.
So I zip myself back up and
the gnawing goes on -
week after month after year.
