A Dread Over Me

I feel a dread over me…

A unrelenting hand squeezing

Squeezing the life out of me.

I look

Searching the dark

But it's so bright I cannot see

Like rats in the attic

It scratches endlessly…

No smile or embrace can make it go away…

I fear…

So much of what I cannot say.

The sands are weighing

Falling as quickly as I can feel them fall…

And I fear

What fear will take its toll.

I've seat on this shores

For so long…

I know each and every corner

And still I do not belong.

I've become silent…

The grey has filled each colour of mine…

And I fear

I no longer care for the horror it hides!
