Analysis of Deep In The Heartache



Staying up for three days
inside of one night,
the walls come crashing in

Compression imploding,
my mind exploding,
all memory suffering

Each hour like three,
as day becomes night,
the reaper at the door

Waist deep in the heartache,
his presence a warning
—my exit unsecure

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
