10.02.27

My smile slips from the corners of my face –

I cannot utter a single word.

I sit in the shadows,

Watching the whole world bathe in the sun,

Dripping full of sweat.

All I can do is try to breathe,

As everything shakes around me.

The swing never stopped swinging,

Not for a single moment.

It just keeps swinging, up and down,

Making my insides feel nauseous.

All I want is to be cradled –

For I don’t understand them,

Nor do I understand their words.

The coldness never left,

No matter how much I tried

To drown it within itself.

How can I drown the thing

Which drowns me?
