The lapse
Felt trivial, then.
Now,
The gaping hole has opened up,
Wide and stark-
Sucking in, a vortex.
The razor-like
Indurations
Have started to hurt
And the pus,
oozes out.
A worm crawls,
Dancing patterns within,
Tickling me to oblivion-
And I know,
Soon, it would begin to hurt
And gnaw in deeper
Under the skin-
I'd ache
And hurt,
Bleed, and
Finally-
Die.
Inevitable.
ooooooooooooofffffffff !
ReplyDeletei think this is an epitome of pain,
really well written

Depressing! When I said that you would write, for sure, little did I imagine this would be unleashed!!
ReplyDeleteReal darky darky... and too sombre, with a hint of the obsessive, somehow..! But even with these, you're good! Inevitable, definitely... you and your quill's expressions!
