(me down)

where does my rage go

when i bite my lip

til it bleeds

and swallow the heat

rising in my chest.

my world inside

is burning.

where do the tears

that i cannot cry

go to

when my eyes

turn into black pools

my heart is drowning.

is there somewhere

where i am not alone

because my soul

has forgotten

what it feels like

to be held

so that solitude

feels like home.

my mind

has made me forget

what the world can look like

so darkness is my light

and the blood i drink

slides down my throat like water.

where do i go?

heartbreak
