Time ticking,
Weight upon my shoulders.
I wait inside my mind,
Fear scent emulating out
From my senses.
Unseen consequences,
Punishments
For things not yet done,
Not yet said or felt.
Drops like daggers,
Down to the floor,
I'm pleading absolution.
Reaching out to a pole too short,
I can't grasp it.
My soul screaming,
Floating down to black
Icy waters, stabs of terror.
Unbreakable silence,
No word or sound to be uttered,
Crying out in deaf silence.
Unforeseen life,
Screaming through my core.
The time is ticking,
Silence and fear.
