Pain Free

Streaks of sun through my window,
I feel it shining out of my every pore,
My eyes, my smile,
My feet floating over the floor.

I feel it here, resting
In the middle of my stomach,
Filling the void
Filling my life.

And one day I wake up,
And it is gone, and I am alone
And empty as the blue sky
I once coveted so very much.

And when it is gone,
You are left so cold
And so deep down that
Nothing and no-one can dig you out.

Now I put my hands to my middle
And feel the wound bleed
From my body and my eyes
It stains the air and everything I breathe.

And when it is all bled away from me,
I sink away from you all, silent and distant,
Waiting for my sunny day,
And my blue skies.

And so I lie,
And I watch
And I bleed
Waiting for my life to start again.

Pain free.
