Bane

Severed shard that hurts

Agony as it exerts

Each shred leaves a mark

Disappearing in the dark

Consuming the void

A trauma that I can’t avoid

Laying down sometimes I wish

For a way out if I could fish

To save me may be its selfish

In this swamp I can’t flourish

My heart is turning to be so rime

Tenderness& zeal feels like a crime

Lofty deserts of notions

Fainting tho I had precautions

I am just wired out

No more I can take this route

My impulses are altering to numbness

A body that’s spineless

I have drifted my peace

A state that I miss

A spell casted in the shadows

And my burdens are allotted to my pillows

Lost but not found

Will I rot here in the ground

Frost absences from its thaw

Alive yet vanishing so slow
