he's wallowing in pain
unable to deal with the flood of emotions
that come pouring through the floodgates
with every movement, every thought
another pin pierces into his heart
each successive one dealing
a thousand times more pain than the previous

he doesn't know what to do
this torrent that threatens to overwhelm him
leaves him petrified with fright
incapable of fighting it head on
minute by minute passes by
there's less and less feeling in him
he'll soon be too numb to realize anything at all

he's reaching the breaking point
the threshold through which there is no returning
this innundation will wash him away
forever lost to human civilization
only your voice, your touch can bring him back
he waits for you, longs to hear you call to him
but until then, he'll just continue to fade to black
