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.
