Sometimes when I look up,
I can feel the heaviness in my eyes
from things I carry but cannot release.

Like still water,
never moving,
intimidating in the silence of it all.

What lurks beneath?

Not even I know.

Let it seep in
the voice about my skin
when I lost your ears
my scars began to sing
#Deepcuts has a voice

Sometimes there are nights where it feels like my soul is writhing beneath my skin.

Rattling the cage made of bones, banging against flesh, clawing its way out to get to you.

An all consuming condition,
liquid fire roiling through my veins.

My desire for you
Decimating me to ash from flame.

I can't run from the fire
that is you.

I can only throw myself
to the flames
and
burn in it.
