anguish

 

Hot needles pierced through a body

The blood came to her face

A pit deepened in her stomach.

Her heart seemed out of place

The shock was expected,

As if it was bound to happen.

(It just came too soon)

Distress hung forlorn and

As lonely as the

moon

The silence seemed to scream profanities

The words unsaid were too easy to hear.

Terminology she had come to fear

Words like “cancer” and “dead”

She was now told to have a good day

(As if that were possible)

Her      heart      seemed far

away

Alone in a sea of people

And the only thing there to stop her from

losing herself

Was beige walls

In the bathroom stall

As she waited hopelessly

Wishing that someone would call

But…No one did

Overwhelmed was an understatement.

No words can describe that moment, or take away the pain

There are no words

none

Since all storms seem to have calm before the rain,

She was desperately searching for hers

Floods were washing over here,

While she looked for a sign

Instead she was left gasping for air and sanity

Furious rain seemed to penetrate the air, Defying gravity

They fell from two brown and empty holes.

From mine!

 My heart

The pulse was quickening at an alarming rate

My body trembled

Trying to rid itself of whatever was holding me down.

My soul

Was already gone
