My Light

My ears are pierced by silence

With heavy breaths

I call out your name

But no response

Comes my way

My body surrenders to sadistic convulsions

The panic attack begins

The opening to my air way is sealed

My eyes reluctantly fasten themselves shut

I see an endless tunnel but there’s no light at the end

Tears rage across my cold face

I feel them soak my pillow

Each tear has its own story embodied in itself

This one’s for you

This one’s for love

This one’s for anger

This one’s for shame

And this one…

This one’s for myself

I heed your voice breaking through the silence

It forces me to smile through the tears

Suddenly the convulsions subside

My air way liberates

And my eyes surface to you

You are my light
