gentle death

it's chilly,
it's tense,
the morning i saw you
lay down on the floor–
i meant to annoy you...

my voice was choked up,
i couldn't shout out.
the voices i heard
were getting too loud.

it's noisy,
it's dead.
it lays on the floor,
it's asking for help
behind closed door.

Well written and very emotive. The last two lines especially spoke to me.
