the black cloak

breaths and whispers

that aren't my own

i'm crushed

the walls are closing in

a swirl of thoughts

but i can't seem to

catch any

as they plunge into the dark

into the deep black

where i can't escape

just falling further

why am i this way

i'm broken

but all too

aware of the buzzing of words

as they try to cut me

and the eyes

they're glancing

looking at my soul

why can't i be

gone

just let me disappear
