Breathing, but shallow

Heart’s sharp, shattered shards

Sliced through her soul

Every inhale, a scar

Apathy feelings;

Her only alternative

The Numbness of Nothing;

Script for the in-curative

She stifled her substance

In spite of deep breaths

Paralyzing her presence

Existing in death

WTIYOS “fears and chains” @emont123

This silence screams louder and louder as the minutes tick by.

I'm left with only my thoughts, jumbled and racing.

Everything I never told you but wish I had.

I should have made sure you knew how much you meant to me.

If only I had been brave enough to tell you how much I loved you.

But I didn't, and now I'm all alone.
