This is For My Pain

When your heart shatters,
and you’re lost in the void
Your compass is broken and
the Northern Star won’t shine.

Have you ever had a picture in your mind?
That is destroyed and burned
so fast your head spins in confusion?

You go numb
because you know the truth
will dismantle everything.

The pain eats away at the edges
of your mind.

Wanting to be felt
screaming to be heard.
So great you know it’ll bury you if it wins.

Crushing devastation
you never saw coming.
Your breath is clutched in the hands
of sorrow.

Each beat of your heart
drums a death march
to the end of something.
With no assurity of what
comes next.
