in silence
i collapse into a heap
gallons of life
within this brittle shell
i weep
laying cold upon the floor
heart beating
i project my pain
the air
hangs heavily
i inhale
yet i still can't breathe
my hands
are not accustomed
this emptiness
leaves nothign to hold
a memory
the torture deep inside
clock ticking
time never waits for me
in silence
i hold on for dear life
alone
sharpening this knife
