the sound of a voice
as it echos through the speaker of my phone
the last words said
silence.
left alone to drown
in a puddle of my own thoughts
the room grows darker
i try to speak
but nothing comes out.
the silence is loud
it wraps around my mouth
like a snake against its prey
tightening- choking me
a lump in my throat builds.
"you there?"
"yeah- just zoned out."
