Where do I stand?

I can't explain
the pain I feel.
It's like a burning
sensation
running from my brain
and through my bloodstream,
hitting every cell and artery
on the way to my heart.
The pain becomes unbearable
as each tiny piece of me
becomes infected.
With every beat of my heart
the central emotional station
of my entire being contracts.
Knowing that soon
the entire system will
shut
d
o
w
n.
Not knowing how.
Not through physicality,
but mentality and whatever
such a thing matches with.
A heart slowly starts to empty.
But the pain fills that
empty gap
which can not be mended
until the whole cycle begins again

and a love is resurrected.
"When a man lies,He murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives,All this I cannot bear to witness any longer,
Cannot the kingdom of salvation,Take me home!"
Cliff Burton R.I.PFebruary 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986
