Subconciously Running into the Dark

RUNNING INTO DARKNESS
FALLING INTO NOTHING
DRAMATIC SCREAMS FILL MY EARS
AND SILENCE DRAINS OUT THE SOUND
MY EYES ARE BEGGING FOR LIGHT
THROBBING AS THEY OVER DIALATE AND BEGIN TO BLEED
TEAR STRICKEN CHEECKS ARE UNSEEN
AS MY VOICE IN UNHEARD
WHY AM I HERE?!?!?!
I’M SCREAMING LOUDER AND LOUDER
YET THERE IS NOTHING TO BE HEARD
SHAKING TAKES CONTROL OVER MY BODY
AND I AM THROWN TO THE GROUND
EVERY BONE IS DITERIARATING
THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE
DARKNESS PREVAILS
…………………
FINALLY LIGHT COMES TO ME
WITH CRUEL INTENTIONS IN MIND
MY PUPILS SHRINK
I AM UNABLE TO SEE
DISTANT SCREAMS RUN TOWARD ME
TAKING OVER MY EVERY THOUGHT
DRY BLOOD BURNS MY FACE
AND I SQUEAL IN PAIN
EVENTUALLY SHAKING CONQUERS MY BODY
AND I SUDDNELY AWAKE
TO THE VOICE OF WHICH HAD BEEN SCREAMING
BUT NOW IT IS SOOTHING
FOR I AM GRATFUL THAT HE IS HERE
YET SUBCONCIOUSLY I KNOW
KNOW THAT I AM AFRAID
THAT EITHER WAY MY LOVE IS SLOWLY KILLING ME
ALL ALONG ENJOYING THE PAIN IT CAUSES WITHIN ME
EVERY NIGHT THIS NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARE OCCURS
AND I AM FOREVER RUNNING INTO THE DARK


The author's comments:
I have been in an off and on relationship now for two years. I know that it is bad for me but I keep going back because somewho it is comforting, and that is what this poem is about. Just how painful love can be, even when you're enjoying it.
