• Silently i scream a muffled cry,
    choking on my trapped air.
    i fight for a voice, i fight for my tongue
    all of which have escaped me,
    when i search for my breath, i see a hole,
    where once my own heart beat and sang,
    now lies a gaping hole that never stops consuming.
    it eats and devours, devours and eats,
    till it has eaten my very soul.
    and when i can think of nothing more horrible
    than the silent pain that rips through my very bones
    it suddenly...stops.

    "how can this be" i ask myself
    i look at where my hole once was,
    and discover that it's filled with a new heart.
    and all i have left to remind me of the pain that once tormented me
    is a little scar, in the shape of a heart
    dare i question why this happened,
    or should i continue with my ignorant bliss?

    yet life went on and nothing happened
    till the day i met the one i could not have.
    the pain returned, resumed the consuming.
    i fought for my life, i fought for normality.
    but besides everything i did,
    the monster devoured me whole.
    deciding that no person was worth it,
    i left this mortal world.
