Restless

Hold me back,
I'm not sure I can trust myself with this.
The memories come flooding back
and tears fall down my face
because I know that when cold meets warmth
it will do nothing to change the past,
it will only create more pain.
So I stay hidden and locked away,
tied up in ropes,
screaming inside
and trying deparately to break free.
I'm restless; someone, please, set me free.
Someone, anyone--
please look this way,
look at me.
I need the air,
I need to breath--
these silent screams and pleas are suffocating me.
Walking through a maze of my own fears
I become lost and consumed by the darkness.
Trying to feel the beat of my heart,
but how many times can I break
before I have completely shattered?
Someone--
save me from myself.
