the worm
there is a worm.
it nibbles and bites
at my insides.
it gnaws on my heart.
it has claws and fangs
and paws, but it is
a worm.
it feasts
on my
soul and consumes my
spirit, and excretes
misery and pain
and horrible
stinking frustration
always.
it has a name
synonymous with
poison and venom
and toxic waste -
no, not jealousy
but guilt.
chew and chew and chew
gobble and gulp and
grind, chomp and swallow.
what a feast it has.
will it devour me
again?
