snake pit

that zip-zap

sinking

of a sick scared

feeling

remains

seeping deep

into my core

for my eyes

have been bleeding

with unslept

aching feeling

that's burrowed

permanent

somewhere within

my mind

my haven

has been lost

to me

and i cannot

find my way

the only solution

is to give up

give in to

the grappling

snakes in

the pit of my

stomach where they

snap and hiss

your name
