The Tears

Standard

The tears.

I am my own comfort.

There is solace in the silence.

In the dark.

It is there that I lay

The ache bare.

Defenseless.

Solitaire.

My agony.

And when the bottomless torment

(Which has no name)

subsides,

I will wrap it up tight

And tuck it away.

Not to come out again until

It is too heavy and thorny

To carry in the quiet.

Demons

Standard

Today is a day

Of battling demons.

They wait quietly

For the opportune moment.

The moment my guard is down

And my heart is open.

They,

With their steely

Black appendages.

Slowly creeping undetected.

Slithering

Into dark spaces.

With one abrupt move

They wrap their thorny tendrils

Around my heart.

My mind.

My spirit.

And drag me down into

Unfathomable depths.

The voices outnumbering me.

Outwitting me,

Until I become the silent one.

Choking on their insanity.
