1:58 am
somehow the fingers that are dead to me still have a grip on me
they twist so meticulously around my neck to stop my breathing,
to take the light I have found in their absence
they try to drag me back to the lifeless state that glooms over me,
like a self fulfilling prophecy
no matter how much I struggle,
their icy grip only intensifies
