Ticking softly,

The clock on my wall,

Outside my window,

The rain drops fall,

Sounds so simple,

Distracting me,

These words,

Strangling me,

No more happiness for me,

Letters,

Asphyxiating me,

Like every verse I gasp,

It kills me,

Ink on paper,

A leisurely reality,

Sinks me into it.

But won't let me out,

Haven't a key,

Except to string more words,

To smother me,

This ink on paper,


Killing Me
