numb.
when i close my eyes all i see is deep reds and oranges.
and i am tired.
and the sounds flood my bloodstream.
keeping emotions bottled is required.
don’t you see?
i don’t have the liberties you have.
i now hide, i squirm in the covers to find a cool place.
weakened with restraint.
alone in my widening space.
don’t you see?
cant you feel the glacial coat i wear?
and it just feels i drift further and further
covers only hide so much.
in this fortune full abyss.
