Stricken Wave

I'm completely hollow.
I feel so empty.
I'm not breathing,
I'm not beating,
I feel nothing within me.

I'm utterly empty.
I feel weightless.
Except for the weight,
Of my emotions,
That pulls me down into the nothingness.

I'm entirely weightless.
I feel so much pain.
My lungs struggle,
To drag air in me,
I'm no longer the same.

I'm tortuously in pain.
Tears sting my eyes.
I force them back,
But there's a lump in my throat,
I try to hide them wth lies.

See my eyes.
My face pain stricken.
I try to breathe,
I try to swallow,
But the lump only thickens.

I'm so pain stricken.
My entirety caves in.
I'm not breathing,
Heart's not beating,
I have given in.
