Prison
a prison
prison
prison
a beautiful prison
but a prison all the same
same same same
same faces
same routine
same places
trapped suffocating breathless
gasps of nothing
shrieks to nothing
twisting turning gnawing gashing
hot sucking soulless void
not booze not sex not drugs
not writhing twisted cold sweat hugs
i am here but not
i am fading
not loud and angry
but soft and inconsequent
i feel it behind me
i feel it in front of me
a thick oozing smattering oblivion
all that i loved was taken from me
or rather kept from me
and now the world has moved on
and i am still here
fading
fading
fading
the hunger for numb
for the state of nothing
for sweet oblivion
