Threshold of Pain

Familiar though this place may be,
a "welcome" mat I've yet to see
no company's provided here
best friend to Loneliness is Fear...

Who settles in too close behind
making sure to come in time 
to suck down all your self-esteem
to grow and fester in your dreams...

Fear and Loneliness combined
create a weakened state of mind
symptomized most often by
a bleeding heart and leaking eyes.
