Intensifying, inner conflicting.

But,
How can I defend against something without form?

And,
How could something so cold hearted, feel, so warm?

Now each pump of blood, from my heart,
Gushing out of me,
Is pushed out of me.

And each living hope, of betterment,
Rushes out of me,
Pulses out of me.

With every other part of myself,
Running out on me,
Giving out on me.

I collapse . . .

And I submit.

To all the weight, and all the worry.
Which thus far, has punished me.
To every suppressed emotion that,
Seduced it’s neighbor in discord.

But, there’s love in this pain.
Inside this agony, I’ve found bliss.
The old familiar touch of darkness.
And the cold, and virulent kiss,

Of this amiable oblivion.

Something has seeped through,
The inner circle of my protection.
Inside of me, destroying me,
Overwhelming me,
All of this, inner conflicting.

But,
How can I defend against something without form?

And,
How can I be so cold, and yet feel, so warm?

As each pump of blood, from my heart,
Is gushing out of me,
And pushed out of me.

Along with each living hope, of betterment,
It washes out of me,
And drains out of me.

With every other part of myself,
Running out on me,
Giving out on me.

I collapse . . .

And I submit.
I really liked the repeated measures, and the way you repeated the word 'me'. It definetely led to an awesome rythm and a really good flow. At first I was like "Wait, you used me twice!?" Then I kept reading, and it really fit.

Touch me with your, cold, steel, fingertips.
Run them,
