I sat in the cold white office
It seemed so much smaller
Than normal
Empty; I sat in dark silence
Waiting

In the car, the drive seemed too quick
I wanted it to never end
In anticipation
Empty; I sat in dark silence
Waiting

I enter the new building
The walls are constricting
I can’t breathe
Empty; I sat in dark silence
Waiting

Finally, the reaper arrives; a smile
The needle pierces its’ target
A whimper
Empty; I cry out
No longer waiting
