Tearing Apart

by Cara Ubovich

My skin is crawling with decay

I'm really not sure which way

I'm supposed to go

Or where to stay

My heart is pounding

Teeth are chattering

I'm tearing apart at the re-sewn seams

My brain is numb

I need someone

To take this all away

To kill off what's here

To cut off the hand of fear

To bury this regret

Why haven't I learned yet

This isn't what it's supposed to be like

No, this isn't right

The shamed, the inflamed

Pulsing black heart

That threatens to tear apart

Everything I am

Everything I thought I ought to be

Everything that was good

Is gone and buried

Murdered along

With my soul

My heart is pounding

Teeth are chattering

Im tearing apart at the re-sewn seams

My will to go

Is gone with the flow

Of death and decay inside this cage

Take this pain away

Amputate this fear

This lack of will to hear

What's ringing in my head

What's putting all this dread

Inside this empty head

Inside this beating heart

Ripe with hatred

Full of madness

This isn't what it's supposed to be like

No, this isn't right

This corpse was meant to be

Alive and completely free

Yet it's chained, shackled

Bound at the feet

Bound at the heart

It's torn apart

My heart is pounding

Teeth are chattering

Im tearing apart at the re-sewn seams
