All Alone


Time slides
ever so slowly
with each heartbeat
each breath
as tears trickle
down pale cheek
unseen
unheard
unknown
wiped away
in fear of recognition

Breathe Deep
I tell myself
Slow the pulse that races
all will be alright
Screaming
Silently
Asking WHY?
Why must it be this way?

My body... mind
Forsaken
Supplication knows me well
As i slowly slide
slip
sinking
into dark depths
somewhere deep inside
no need to feel
nothing real
all alone
