Stabbing pain in my heart
Floods of tears
Years of betrayal
Rage and hate burn inside
Loneliness consumes me like a thick mist
My skin prickles from this blanket
“Where am I,” I ask
A tangled net binds me
Screams pour out of my mouth like rivers
I claw desperately at my prison
One string snaps, then another
On my knees, outstretched arms to the sky
The sun dries the last of my tears
Am I finally free?
