And As But Or
written 2022, last edit 2022
The tears kept falling and
My hands kept shaking and
The world got darker and
My arms wrapped tighter and
The world drifted away and
Hid under cloud cover
My lungs got smaller as
My throat closed in as
My eyes stopped seeing as
The world stopped caring as
My heart reached out as
A child to its mother
My inner clock kept ticking but
Time stood still but
Panic crept from the shadows but
The shadow held monsters but
The monster was me but
I wanted to be a lover
I wanted to be a lover or
Hero or
Protagonist or
Leader or
Someone who can or
At least someone clever
