Stick thickly in my throat
Seep into my lungs,
Drowning me with
The knowledge of their relentlessness,
Their immortal, unceasing presence.
They settle heavily into my gut,
Weighing the pit of my stomach.
I want to cry them out,
Watch them fade in my tears.
Scream them out
Ripping open my heart to rid of them.
I want to cut them out,
Feel them drain from me
In my own blood.
I want to think without worry;
To feel without pain.
Lord, bring me Home to You,
I need You,
Ease the pains of life
And take me Home.
