It wraps around me
Like arms holding me in the night
Cold metal held to my throat.
Frozen in the moment.
No breath.
No sound.
Frozen.
...
Time ticks by.
...
The pressure so unsteady.
The fright unyielding.
"Why won't it stop?"
"Please... Let go!"
"Breath. Just Breath."
...
Time slows down.
Time races by.
Fear grows to boredom.
What once froze me in place.
Now, has lost it's face.
The metal grows dull,
Still it doesn't deliver the final blow.
...
Captive still I start to move.
Each step as painful as the last.
This dark blanket rides on my back.
...
"Why does it hurt?!"
...
This monkey rides on my back
While I press on.
Eat, Sleep, Work... Live.
It's there.
I press on...
...
Time passes on...
Life goes on,
The pain is there.
Like an unwanted friend.
I learn to depend on.
It strangely comforts me in the dark.
I grow to love it.
The suffocating grip,
Now feels like a hug from a lover.
It pushes everything out.
Took away my joy,
Took away my job,
Took away my love,
Took away my friends.
Till all that's left is my pain.
It rapes my will.
Every second of the day.
Till I no longer desire to get away.
In the end it will be my only thing left.
This demon waits for me to submit.
...
I turn and embrace my captive,
Fully submit to it's abusive hand.
...
Death is my reward.
..."Thank you"...
Time ticks on...
