The Smallest Matrioshka


It doesn’t hurt less often, 
It doesn’t hurt less. 
I’ve not got it together, 
I’m still an utter mess. 

I just don’t have the stamina,
It just takes too much out.
There’s not a lot left in here now,
I’m a whisper, not a shout.

I’m all cried up… 
My tears have all dried up…
My life’s shutters slide up…
It’s messed my inside up ,

I’m the smallest matryoshka:  
I’m all hollow inside, 
If another shell is taken 
That’s me, I’m gone, I’ve died.
