collapse

and what remains

my chest rises

and sinks. breaths like

there's a thick gaping hole

growing within my lungs while

black drips slither and sludge

into my skin. it viscerally emerges,

seeps into my veins, and seizes my sanity.

i hyperventilate and lose myself as my pulse

accelerates beyond its limits. i disappear and become

a shell with tears falling down my face.
