The Tower and The Pit

Summary:

A tower on which my problems fall
Falling down by standing tall
Carried there, I laid them all
To leave them all behind

 

A pit in which my treasure be
Buried deep so no one sees
All I once had, what came with me
Before it was left behind

 

A Poem about Tommy's Exile, written as a Secret Santa gift for my friend Iphiko!

{CW: This is at the verge of possible disturbing! Please heed the tags!}

Notes:

Heyo! Pt. 2 to Iphie's Secret Santa gift! (First part is the previous work in this series)
Have some angsty Exiled!Tommy poetry!

Work Text:

A tower on which my problems fall

Falling down by standing tall

Carried there, I laid them all

To leave them all behind

 

A pit in which my treasure be

Buried deep so no one sees

All I once had, what came with me

Before it was left behind

 

What is left but flesh and bone

Hollow skin and empty soul

Living but I'm left alone

And no one knows

 

Joy is gone, in comes the fear

My happiness is buried here

Pain had jumped, and now I hear

Them calling out to me

 

Numb inside 'til I can't no more

The wold outside I can't ignore

Emotionless while sorrow pours

My feelings out of me

 

What is left but flesh and bone

Hollow skin and empty soul

Living but I'm left alone

And no one knows

Why don't anybody know?

 

I can see the ghosts outside

Why can't I escape my mind?

It's buried here but I can't find

It; rubble's all that's left

 

A pile of bones at the base of the tower

All that I can do is cower

Nothing left, I've been devoured

Rubble's all that's left

 

Everybody left

All my feelings left

No heart is in my chest

Should anybody know?
