tides of pain (retitled & revised) 
her life ever steeped 
in reality; disbelief 
streams through 
her body, riding the swell 
from her heart 
to her outmost reaches. 
scrape away her exterior, 
behold the detriment. 
observe her essence, 
ruptured. 
tormented ships sail 
into her senses, as he 
submerges her brights 
and leaves a dark 
despondency from which she 
cannot escape; 
adrift in an anguish 
she is incompetent to navigate.

Original: 
let her scream 
her life ever steeped 
in reality; disbelief 
pumps through 
her body, riding the swell 
from her heart 
to her outmost reaches. 
skin away her exterior, 
behold the detriment. 
observe her essence, 
ruptured. 
torment burrows 
into her senses as he 
deletes the brights 
from her world, leaves instead 
a dark, colorless pain, from which she 
cannot separate herself; 
anguish she is unable 
to navigate.
