static

the silence spoke of endings
of darkness
and giving up.
its icy fingers reached out
and gripped my throat
until I was gasping for my last
breath.
dreams cascaded around me,
reminders of who I used to be
before.
now after, the air crackled with static
trapped in the walls between thoughts.
visions of light
shaded my eyes from stolen goodbyes
and silence reigned.
