I have the biologic need
To blister the skin and bleed
I must fill the darkest hole
I must give in and cede control
To walk away from everyone
Not be the center or second to none
Avoiding the contact of humankind
But craving the flesh in the mind
Screaming to see if still alive
Feeling the pain as it dies inside
Dealt a blow with each and every word
That my soul had never heard
Protect me from the falling star
Of the want that is no more
I’ve been waiting for this for so long
And now, the moment is gone

Screaming to see if still alive

Oh, wow... such magnificent intensity!! It pulsates with pain and perplexity... and is so good I forgot to breathe.

Chalmette Guy - There is a poetic fatalism to this one from the dark side of the character, a necessity for introspection. I liked the macabre impact. Namyh
