I Hear Cries In The Night

I hear your voice in the back of my mind.
It's cries echo down the corridor of the deepest part of my head.
Bouncing from wall to wall,
the sound begins to diminish and die
along with a part of me.

Your cries reverberate throughout my skin,
throwing waves upon waves across my blistered skin.
Your voice slowly creeps into my circulatory system
thickening my bloodstream.

My pulse quickens and my heart begins to race.
Like air in my capillaries, inching through each vein,
the pain becomes intense, and my breath shortens.
The mere thought of you grasps me at the throat,
pushing my trachea ever so slowly shut.

The eloquent voice races through my bloodstream,
so close to my heart, my vision starts to fade.
The ground starts to sway. The sky begins to swirl.
The sounds of your vibrating vocal chords
bursts into the slowing atrium.

Complete silence.

                                            The rhythm dies.

The drumbeat fades off into the distance.
The vision turns black.
The body lies lifeless.


                                                                                                  I'm sorry...
