Deep Within
By: April Terry
She takes a deep breath,
And crosses her heart.
Hoping what she feels inside,
Just isn’t real.
The pain inside her,
Runs deep within.
She feels its course profoundly,
Threw every vain, nerve, and beat of her heart.
The tears slowly feel her eyes,
As she tries to cover them up.
She wonders if,
She truly is this weak.
She tries to go back in time,
Remembering every choice she’s made.
Trying to figure out,
Just where she went so wrong.
Searching for long lost answers,
When did she forget to love?
What was the cause of it?
Why does she feel so empty?
Can she remember how to love?
Can she fix her broken past?
Will she ever fill full again?
Deeper and deeper,
She travels within.
Twisting and twirling,
As it gets darker and darker.
The intensity of her pain,
Becomes stronger and stronger.
She winces within,
Strangling to keep moving in.
She fights her way,
Knowing its not much farther.
She holds herself tightly,
Whispers to herself.
I must find the answers, I must.
She stops,
Heart beating out of control,
All she can do,
Is stand with her mouth gapping.
Its far worse then her greatest fear.
It reaches forth,
Grabs her,
