I feel numb and cold, freezing cold I feel a nothingness I feel a whirlwind of confusion Emotions are exploding inside me It's like the worst flashback The most frightening acid trip I am lost, alone, out of control Stranded on a thin strip of beach With sharks circling for the kill The pain I feel is beyond anguish Beyond the worst pain ever imagined Rip my heart from my chest still beating Rend it into tiny pieces at your feet That way the pain could end I could end; reach some kind of peace Some surcease from this constant void Death holds no fear Life is the challenge Hell is slapstick comedy Tomorrow holds no promise Because today has no joy Here and now was all that mattered And now that's turned to clay Hell is not hot and burning The real pain is when all is ice The torments visited with indifference Rend and twist inside forever Neverending agony, neverending pain Never quite taking you to the end Ceasing so that you can heal And then beginning again The exquisitness of the torment A study of a talented mind True torture is so much worse Anticipated with knowledge Of how it really feels There is no light, no color Fog surrounds you, choking you Taking the very breath from your lips Sucking the marrow from your bones Leaching away the blood from your veins All is lost, all is pain, all is nothing There is nothing that matters Nothing brings joy Nothing brings relief The pain is so intense You are unable to scream Except silently, inside A level beyond human ears The universe quivers in reaction The storm clouds thunder Lightning flashes in symmetry Jagged, tearing, heart agony Soul agony, wounded beyond healing Driving you to insanity As you laugh hysterically Cry blood-colored tears Slowly shrinking away Until you reach Finito.

Pepper darling heart, don’t look now but you’ve written something incredible again. Truly darling is it necessary for you to excel in whatever and whichever style you write? I’ll answer my own question yes it is because you cannot write anything that is not superb. Don’t look for the smile inside the word It isn’t there the voice stays unheard The memory trace fades away too fast There is no hope to recall the past Don’t look for the hope that shines bright It’s fled for fear into darkest of night The hand that reaches out for aid Is not recalled the memories fade Don’t look for clues they fade away The memory’s gone for another day Who knows what is in the memory? And does it hold the key to being free Don’t look for the dream it has gone It’s taken away the hint of song The trace that remained faded too And all that’s left is a shaded view This is what I mean when I say you make the reader feel the poem I swear I can actually feel the welts raised on my skin from this. Have you any concept of how well you write beloved heart? Probably not, but you do always. YOU know I love this utterly utterly utterly. I don't get here enough darling heart and i never get enough of reading you. Take care always darling one  Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
