trying to break free of this
binding cage.
Your eyes start
clouding over.
Making it impossible
to see sense.
The tunnel vision
kicks in
and all you can see
is them.
The tears start —
raindrops on this chilly night
leaving you feeling
numb.
A river streaming down
your face.
A constant flow
of endless pain.
