Pain ruptures resilience with nerves aflame
another awakening with scream stifled
don’t wake the others, just take the meds
more pills to drown the burgeoning hell.
They dissolve, minutes monotonously tick by
pain ruptures resilience with nerves aflame
still the lava pours, flooding synapses
destroying sense and sanity.
Lying down, looking at the ceiling
still the sanguine seconds slip slow.
Pain ruptures resilience with nerves aflame
It doesn’t abate but continues to grow.
The peak reached, as the summit impels
tears flooding, poisoned with anguish
then it negates slowly to nothing, until again
pain ruptures resilience with nerves aflame.
