My Sinking Heart

A sonnet about being devoured in murkiness

I see inside myself and I watch myself consume

As I'm strolling in the strolling in the junction feeling a sting in my heart

Difficult

Not nothing

No reasons

Simply mishandles

My aims are numb

My heart beats for vengeance

My own life encompasses me in the darkness

Consistently nearer as steps I take for my cushioned heart to tumble down and attempt to embrace with torment

Something to fill this opening as the consuming tissue sidestep my skin

I shallowed fuel to feel good

As it assumes control over me
