Lifeline

My lifeline was severed,
I scream but no one hears.
No communication, no oxygen.
My god, I’m going to die out here, 
doomed to float around 
in black nothingness,
prisoner of my fears,
agoraphobic and claustrophobic,
until my brain shuts down.
And my killer watches.
My lifeline was severed,
I scream but no one hea...

Agoraphobia shuts us within ourselves. No one can extend a lifeline to one who is inaccessible, Jack. Thought-provoking poem. Congratulations on your win in the contest. Love, Carolyn
