Disaster pulsing

Always beneath my skin,

Downfall breathing in my ears

Sweet promises.

The raging, biting, scraping

Inside my veins-

It is constant.

If I would loose

That choking, biting control-

If I only set free

The claws grasping, holding

My bones, my very being.

My emotions, my mind, my self

In check.

I could do it.

I could unleash it,

My forever, unrelenting darkness.

If I chose, I could be-

No.

However hidden, I am

Ruinous.
