My heart is missing
There’s an emptiness where it used to be
Yet there’s a tightness in my hollow body
That is paralyzing
.
And my thoughts are scattered
So any cries for help go missing
My throat is thick
And my tongue is heavy
.
It all seems so pointless
Knowing there’s no place for me
My motivation is missing
So I sit and stare and ache
.
And my time is wasted
The air around me would be better off
If it was filled by anything else
If I was missing

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
