Affliction

Broken, beaten, bloodied, bruised

Memories abuse with tortures of you

Shattered, shaken, soul-suffused

Apparitions haunting all I do

Trapped, tormented, tattered, true

Seeking answers within the miscues

Drifting, drowning, dream-diffused

Cries subsumed in this raging deluge

Aching, angry, anguished, too

Always fleeing from the ghost of you

Restless, rattled, right-removed

Worthless, lonely without holding you
