As Walls Close In

as walls close in 
i gasp for air, for my soul to stay attatched
waiting for someone to come back
someone to set me free
from these walls tightening my body
as walls close in
my bones crush into a million pieces
scream and scream but no one's listening
i'm distracted from this pain by visions
people, things, places i've lived in
as walls close in
i become numb as sleep
my heart feels weak as dreams
bursting inside me
internal bleed
no feelings  no breathing  no more me
as walls close in
the end is near
my spirit flows out my body
straight to the clouds
our father  our heavenly
save me from this killing
bleeding of my heart
breakage of my soul
as walls close in
squishing me whole
