Searing Sorrow

My heart burns.

My eyes water.

My mouth widens.

My screams are silenced.

Ears ringing.

Ears ringing. Nose running.

Mind spinning.

Mind spinning. Sobs are quieting.

The hold tightens

The hold tightens while

The hold tightens while the control folds.

He tries to

He tries to uphold

He tries to uphold my doomed soul.
