The Blood Pool

The beat that comes,
the beat that rules,
it overcomes
in the blood pool.
It pulls me down
as it tears it out
to bring the pain
it brings about.
The stress here
overwhelming and so
powerful in
its come and go,
the pressure rises
and boils over
to burn the hot
and cold shoulders.
The breaking here,
the bond forgotten
as falling down
all good made rotten.
