Metamorphosis.

Salty tears

Where did you come from?

Why are you visiting from dusk to dawn?

Emptiness

Why are you so vast in my body, down to my very core? 

Stark blackness has consumed me

Ominous forces ripping me open

Exposing bare bone

But as I lay here allowing myself to thrash and wail, there is a release of everything

Because without the pain

There is no growth

There is no change 

There is no hope

There is nothing

So I let my body shake with my lamentations

This alluvion of tears soaks deep and I know with this comes metamorphosis within me, something I yearn and hunger for.
