Lying next to you in the darkness, both staring at the ceiling. You can't feel what's coming over me. My blood starts to run hot. I'm becoming lost in myself. I'm drowning. Why won't you save me? You can't save me. What's it like on your side? I'm slipping further away. You're happy in your peaceful mind; falling asleep so comfortably. When you're awoken by my crying you turn your back to me and put the pillow over your head. You can't see what I see. I'm hurting, sinking; I'm lost in the darkness. Last night this was a beautiful place. As we shared our love, I was soaring in the stars. Now this room is relentless; fear stabbing at me from all angles. Why have you forsaken me now? Chase my demons away. I must get out of this room; its suffocating me and the hate resonating from you stings me. I must get outside, get it out of me. As I stumble and fall to my hands and knees the pain surges through me. In a fit of hysterics, I don't hold back. I know you can hear me. My body heaves with contractions as the tears stream down my face, Black all over my face, all over my hands, all over my night gown, mascara stinging my soaked eyes. All the pain and anger is coming out of me. I never know how long it will last. As I lay on the dirt I feel empty. All the feeling has been flushed out of me. Now I'm numb; so drained. Such an effort to stand up. My breathing is deep and easy. I make my way back to bed like a ghost. No feelings now; blank expression on my face; my body so heavy as I lay in bed, unable to move. No energy, no feelings, no thoughts, no cares, no life. Now I just breathe.... |
