Swept Away

Swept Away Wandering About



As I lie there crying and dying inside my fears emerged around me transforming into my immediate surroundings. Luminous butterflies floating in the sky became lingering lies. The early morning bird chirpings that had once brought a peace of mind with my arisal out of bed dissipated and became conjured spirits meticuously piercing their forgotten voices into my head stripping me of any sleep that had before hand allowed for a peaceful early morning protection as a child turned into dark medieval weaponry scarring me as they slashed through every layer of my thin coat of skin with each gust of wind. As things continued to worsen and time transitioned my body became depleted of all the neccesary things needed for one to survive. My stomach became a bottomless pit of rats determined to eat me alive from the inside out. My brain slowly decided it was time to jump from my skull and back into reality. My warm blood changed to ice water numbing my body from the tramatizing pain my body was enduring. And just as there seemed to be nothing left of me my heart whithered and dried into a clump of dry mud then swept away with the breeze taking my life with it. Now I'm a hopeless soul wandering about looking for you so I can replenish my body and mind.
