Pain
pain
feels like the air rushing out of your lungs
looks like someone trying to hold themselves together
tastes like bitter tears running down your cheeks into your gasping mouth
feels like blood pulsing behind a painful bruise
smells like a dark musty room where each breath is harder to take in than the last
sounds like the noise your heart makes when its ripping in two
feels like everything is falling into a dark abyss where light is not even fathomable
sounds like a blood curling scream that is desperately trying to be muffled
looks like a child in bed with tears silenting streaking down their face until they die on their pillow
