rusty nails piercing through
it tingles like love at first sight
your eyes gazing wide.. waiting
my lips quiver 
shadows dance on the ceiling
i cant recall believing
in such exquisite pain
it's all in vain
piercing deeper
i begin to see reality
i succumb
to unearthly dreams
drips of life seep out
as I realize what a lie
it's always been
this pain is real
surfaced and beautiful
you shed a tear
as you watch me heal
from the inside out.
