Suffocated by each breath

a sudden break
in time

(pause, breathe)

trying to grasp my
surroundings
trying to
hold on to it

(am i breathing or suffocating?)

dawn is breaking
the frost still lingers in the air
leaving
a vague, silverish layer
over the grass
covering it up, disguising

(don't give in, don't give in)

this, though,
my observations
are only
for passing time

(b r e a t h e)

the concrete is wet
but i won't move
i can't, i shouldn't


(silence, listen, hear it)

scenarios
bubbling up
in my head

i don't try to shake them

pull my legs towards my chest
shaking, rocking silently,
the tears stuck in my throat

(i breathe, i suffocate)

do you know the definition of addiction?
