This dread I feel

Why won't it go

This hollow, this woe

Howling within

Relentless, empty

Like an anchor

It weighs upon my soul

And I am being pulled below

The ferocious torrents won't let go

And as minutes go by

They feel like years

Yet here I stand, remaining

In wake of my despair

Desperate and hopeless

Sometimes I wish I cease to be

To tear the pain into pieces

To cry out into the night

And scream it all away
