The fate of the unrealized

Shock
surging from chest to face,

Shadows
create fog within.

Buzz
grows inside,
the drug of suppression pervading.

Piercing
through the fog
are feelings, oozing grief and pain.
Thoughts of abandonment,
Love that ends?

Such a living thing cannot be overlooked.
Vitality
that fought for just a chance
festers
burns.

Above my heart
the gashes pry,
releasing signs of life.

In rest it still escapes,
streams of maroon.

The inward...
exposed,
only scars remain.
