*

Tightness in my chest

I remember what we did

Expecting on consequence

And dealt with in the end

Consequences grew unfathomably

And now life settles over me

A blanket of darkness shutting me out

I can’t talk to you

I can’t see you

I wish they would stop pressing the blanket

I wish they would leave me alone

I glance and see you

A drifting spell in the halls

Words rise up my throat

Never to be said

When I’m missing you

This blanket gets too thick

And I wish they would stop pressing the blanket

I wish they would leave us alone
