Beyond Our Sight

here i sit alone all day. unable to breathe, all i do is stare. the white walls keep their distance as i have never been able to lean upon them. bits and pieces of voice filter in but i see no faces nor does it bring a smile about me. time has left with the ticking of its clock, its hands to carry something much more real. beyond my now claimed white walls, i see no more and never wanted to. when upon the sounds of tears i hear, an exit sign fades in and looms above a now visible crack in a wall. growing larger, it crumbles. standing up like i haven't in so long, i begin to make progress toward it. pausing and looking back, the room seems whiter now. i close my eyes for the last time and take my final step. the sensation of darkness surrounds me and numbs my body and brings about a silence to the pain.

The Only One

i aimed to leap upon my bed in hours of absent sun. i leaped but did not land, a splash arose and all around melted. falling through my once bed, i became entangled within the flurry or current. being teased by the minuscule portions of air that soar out of reach. involuntary breath holding follows me to the floor where a bed of sand awaits my weary head.
