do not speak of freedom when i am suffocating on the chemicals of such a deadly shock i can't breathe for the weight of it all pressing down...bending in...crushing out a flame i thought would burn forever do not hasten to bury what lived but a smile ago i will drown in my own heated blood i can't swim for your anchor so heavy and your surface is beyond my grasp nothing flickers in the eyes that have touched my soul and now i know you will watch me drown do not float away on hazy detachment i haven't seen your practiced script; i have no lines and i'm so terrified of this darkness i must face alone you are dripping the stages of grief on each splintered fragment of my open heart
