Trapped

surrounded by Darkness
walls moving in
closer
and closer
inch by inch
each inhalation
drawing them in
pulling them closer
On top of you
until stopping
is all you can
do
to survive
No breaths
closed eyes
darkness Envelopes you
and finally
there is nothing left

Gone

they're gone
every last one of them

all because I said
"leave me alone"

but now it's lonely
and the birds are chirping

mocking me
because at least they have friends

they left me behind
without knowing why

as if they thrive on my sadness
and wanted me to contemplate those heights

the silence creeps over my skin
stabbing into my veins

I wait for everything to stop
I wait for the buzzing to go numb

I waited
in the loud silence
