Silent Suffering

Tilt, burn, flow,
Down my throat the fire ants bite,
Warm, twinge, ache,
Maybe this time it'll be alright

Drip, stream, dry,
Emotions fall in liquid form,
Breathe, shudder, sigh,
A gentle sky after the storm

Yearn, wish, want,
All things I need I do without,
Exist, linger, idle,
My heart's so sad, but what about?

Sink, swim, drift,
I grow yet my skin's the same,
Cry, scream, whisper,
So much left keeps me insane
