In Tunnel

In Tunnel

Pain,
Like barbed wire or
Bee sting upon skin or
Sound of drill in broken down dentist chair.
I went to pieces.

I went to pieces ha! ha!
Skin drowned by
One-thousand tears of sadness
Brain numb like toothache
Desperate, dull and dead.

Dead to be released
Through broken spirit and soul
Silently sifting off the waste
Until nothing remains
but empty shell
And shadow of former self.

Tears crack open myself
But to reveal only sadness
She does not love me yet
I love her.
Regrets.Regret.
There is nothing left for me to do
but close my eyes.
