Relinquish
Place me back into the dark cupboard
bed bottoms, noose knotted;
linen cloth hung upon a window pain
Strung around my neck;
clenching at my throat
And I can't even speak anymore;
I'm so close to the ground
I can't breathe anymore;
Silence is the worst sound
I can't feel;
My face or my feet anymore
Can I please reach the floor.
Don't keep me hung up here
This has happened before
You always
Let me
Down.
