Vortex
I fall
and
f

into a dark tunnel
of no light
or shadows to be seen.
It feels lonely
and eerily quiet
as I free fall
into a pit
leading to nowhere,
sucking the wind
out of my chest,
peeling the skin
off my face,
tearing the wounds
open in my heart,
erasing the thoughts
from my mind,
sucking the life
out of my body.
Like a vortex,
it sucks me
into the darkness
deeper and deeper
until my last breath
gets knocked out
of my chest,
leaving me
empty behind,
begging to be free.
