Raw

i'm feeling raw from the inside, the flesh hurts where it touches my bones, my heart is pressing against my rib cage and sends rays of pain to my neck.

my bones imploded, they are voids now, crushed into fine stardust. there is silence where they used to be, throbbing in the aftermath of the implosion.

maybe only angles can hear so low a sound.

i lay my blue coat on the floor to go for a swim in its vastness. 

heavy weighs the grief around my shoulders, clinging onto my neck, begging for sleep, for forgiveness, for a new era of relief.
