The air is thick with anxious thoughts
Silence surrounds me.
The room is dark with bitterness
Why can't anyone see?
Breathing is labored from snide comments
hurtful words choke.
The cutting looks are a tight thick gag
My tears soak.
My will to fight is leaving
Forward slumping.
Beneath the blanket of indifference
my heart is barely thumping.

a good piece of poetry penned, ah life, and love of course, they can be like a thick blanket of smoke sometimes, smothering us with overwhelming complex emotions, still, there is always chocolate.
