Black Death

Black Screams dry out
Scratching bloody places down my arms
blood drips in streams of unforgiveness
I see the bloody tips of my teeth
stained with the pain of yesteryear

Agony encloses in the darkness around me
drowning in a sea of unforgetfulness
I lay limp on the ground
wet from storms of pain

Help me I am dying
Help me escape
Leave me alone
Let me be
Go away

No one wants you here.
 Wanting to disappear
Void of consciousness
screaming tears running down my face
I cry alone

My mother awakens me
She holds out her hand
I take it
She leads me away.
