I Cannot
Suspended by your invisible locks
Retrained from my own power
Losing my breath with every
"Stop, I cannot, I cannot"
But I cannot go away
Choking me with your invisible arms
Drowning me with my own Niagra falls
Falling until I finally see
The bottom always lived on my gravity
Losing my mind systematically
Slowly dying in my own hole
Dark like the locks on my visible soul
Invisibly trapped in your visible hole
Suspended by your invisible locks
Losing my breath till I finally stop
I cannot
