clouded by boundaries
blind as a bat
can’t see in front of you
cannot step back.
choke
on your empty words
gargle pause and spew
taste what you could have had
let it slip through.
bind your wrists
that nervous tick
looking up and down
lurking hiding ignoring
isolate yourself.
child-like and lonely
simply never learned to cope
could have salvaged what you lost
its all gone up in smoke.
