Sinking

That feeling
In your chest
The one that sinks
And flows through you
That encompasses your whole

As it falls
From your chest, to your stomach
To your loins
And continues
Dying, at your feet

Pain, stinging
Like a needle,
Entering your soul
As if someone held a doll
And wrote your name on it
Stabbing a knife
Into you

Evoking that feeling
That sits in your stomach
Violent illness
Sinking through you

In silence, you flounder
And no one cares
No one is there
To see you falter

Your intellect
Means nothing
Your labors, again
Are passed by

Age and age alone
Will give you importance
So, be aware of that
Feeling

Sinking through you
Flowing, like blood
Dripping
Like blood
Out of your delicate heart

No solace for you
Someone else will
Enjoy this malice
As they watch you
From afar

Endlessly
Timeless
It follows you
That feeling,
Flowing through you
Sinking
