Captured

Confined in this dark trap
Ropes of emotional binding
Pull tight on my weak limbs
I can't resist their power
Draining my wasted energy

A seething, constricting pain
Piercing the darkest corners
Tearing through my empty soul
Crushing that trace of hope
Dwindling in the lonely shell

Those lacerating tendrils
Are they missing feelings
Stumbling in the dark
Now lost without a chance
Of ever being fulfilled

They burrow ever deeper
Under hardened skin
My outer reinforcements
Cracking and falling away
A wave of devastation

Every dream, every vision
Is filled with your face
That canvas of perfection
Perched on an elegant frame
Intoxicatingly beautiful

It's in you I am trapped
Caught within your net
Those roots of emotion
Tighten around my heart
For there lies their prize

It may be accidental
God knows you don't want me
Hacking at every stem
To kill off those feelings
And let the open wounds rot

But I can't extinguish
The fire raging inside
You just mean too much
Too ever let fade away
But it's just killing me

Encased in this cocoon
Of solitude and sadness
Towering walls of affection
Suffocate my tattered life
A solitary death awaits
With things still being rather dire within the darkened confines of my twisted mind another rant produces itself - as everything seems to be getting so much worse yet everything outside the mind is remaining the same.

I know, as per normal I haven't done anything about altering the subject matter again - something that should be altered but there is so much material from what is a predominate flaw in my existence.

But anyway - running backstage at the moment which is very likely going to draw forth some more misery as you see a bunch of children make light work of the things of which I am completely incapable. Which is totally humiliating being destroyed by the abilities of the only people on the planet who are shorter than I am...great.

Aww, there there. Your work is beautiful and I found someone who could utterly relate to it. NeverEndingMissary is right, Don't let what other people think get to you since happiness will come only after you've neglected such pains (and I know it will be hard so I wish to tell you that we'd be there ever step of the way).
