Anguish
You contact me to fill your void, but now I'm falling overboard.
Your words penetrate my being, I'm nether here nor there nor seeing.
I can't hold or grasp onto anything, as my mind and body aren't in sync.
This all consuming anguish I'm feeling, is controlling how I'm breathing.
Short shallow breaths I consume, are paralysing me to death.
My mind and body are inside out, so I try to reach out... unable to shout!
But I'm frightened I'll fall once again for you and catch me not , like you do.
So into obscurity I would pass, leaving life behind me.... as I rest.

Anguish
You contact me to fill your void, but now I'm falling overboard.
Your words penetrate my being, I'm nether here nor there nor seeing.
I can't hold or grasp onto anything, as my mind and body aren't in sync.
This all consuming anguish I'm feeling, is controlling how I'm breathing.
Short shallow breaths I consume, are paralysing me to death.
My mind and body are inside out, so I try to reach out... unable to shout!
But I'm frightened I'll fall once again for you and catch me not , like you do.
So into obscurity I would pass, leaving life behind me.... as I rest.
