To Whom It May Concern:

To whom it may concern:

To whomever is kept safe at the mercy of a hair trigger to the temple:

To whom with a voice to lower the weapon but repeatedly chooses to speak in silence:

It is a complex affair when you finally decide to look.

When you decide to follow down spine through the deafening pulse flowing through the hand that holds you prisoner.

You will find that the hand is yours.

The blood that races to the center is flowing to your heart.

The heart that chooses to incessantly rush blood louder, faster.

So you can never hear your mind pleading to stay alive.

Sincerely,

Those concerned
