Lifemare

With eyes shut tight The clock stays still Surrounding voices Breathe your last breath Never stop running Falling into nothing Scream for realization There was never a cliff Why did you run Why did you scream When you never moved Wipe off cold sweat But with what You are alone again Solid white walls They inhale And it takes you back What were you trying to find Now stop. You were awake again. Slip into your dreams
