A feeling,

Maybe a chill down the spine,

An overwhelming sickness rising from the well within my soul

A knowing

Truths that seek to tear and torture

Rushing in despite my best efforts

To barricade all emotion

To numb the fiery flame

An excruciating ache

The familiar symphony

Of pain and regret….

Not even my own, but inherited

Oh, God, show me the way out of this dark place

What have I done

Oh, my God!

Please, can you take me back to the start…
