A Spine Within A Heart

A spine within a heart

My heart aches within
Something pushing and poking in 
Poking out
Knowing out 
Trapped in

Happiness is within trying to seep out 
Through the little cracks of grey, it seems
Gold elixir fading away 
Into the grey clouds, we know today
Pouring with pins and needles
That just pins you and kneads you
Intoa paste that washes away 
To come back
Better grown and better known
Better thoughts and better knots
New things this time around
A spine 
A spine within my heart 
Better prongs to use
And a lot of power to abuse 
I thought it came better 
Yet so it came back worse
Worse than the grey clouds and the muddy paste
Where do I go from here on out
A spine within me 
I know the pain I can endure 
The pain it could cause
But yet 
I stay doing what I've done before 
Will the spine get sharper until it burdens too much within myself
Or does death come upon me before the end
A Spine within a Heart
