In The Style of Emily Bronte

My mind is blank, my thoughts have left,
There’s nothing left to do.
And through this dreary, weary haze,
Are only thoughts of you.

I cannot eat, for all the food
can’t fill the hole that’s left,
I cannot breathe, for through the pain,
I cannot draw a breath.

My happy face begins to slip,
I’m losing my facade,
Expose my lies, my gross insides,
A heart that’s freshly scarred.

So pick me up, and stitch me up
And send me on my way
I’ll dry my tears and quell my fears,
Survive another day.

This Is Good

Keira, you have captured the essence of despair with this write.
Third stanza is brilliant! good style and flow throughout,
Dave

Keira... exactly!

This is exactly how one feels when going through this. You've painted a perfect picture.
Thanks for sharing this piece. Really good!
