• You brought me to my knees
    Within minutes.
    The bruises are so black that
    I’m numb.
    I’m calling out to an image that’s fading.
    Why do I bother?
    Everything is only a dream in the end.
    I get up and try to reach for the door...
    But my ankles are shackled to the ground.
    The weight pulls me down...
    The weight of the world is drowning me.
    A sharp pain is crawling out of my veins.
    My screams can’t be heard in this
    Empty place.
    The voices are loud
    And yet full of nothingness.
    My mind is spinning so fast
    I can’t see you anymore.
    My hands reach out but the threads attached
    To them pull back keeping me away.
