a creeping feeling
gradually infecting my body
like ivy posioning my veins
i cant stop it
tightening my muscles
gnawing my throat
stinging my eyes
i try to stop it
my eyelids start fluttering
in sync with my racing heartbeat
as an eager tear lines up planning its grand escape
theres no stopping it
i have no control
over my twisted face
my throbbing head
and my fragmented heart
i try to breath
to fight
but every breath bruises my heaving chest
as i subconsciously feel the walls closing in
waiting for me
to break
its almost like its strength slowly weakens me
until theres nothing left to feel
and theres only words
i dont mean
left to say
