There is a place
Of such profound sadness that it shatters your soul, survival seems
unfathomable
The blackness so dark and thick it seeps into your being, drips off your
teeth
Making everything taste of nothing
A cry comes out of you with a power you’ve never felt before, primal, deep
Like swimming in the iris of the eye
There is no way out
Raw
Jagged
Broken
Tears like lava flow and burn
Leaving a scar so deep that it will never heal
Breathing feels like sucking in grey concrete dust
Each particle is pain
