Lonely death

The air is stale, the walls closing in,

I struggle to keep my eyes open, in vain.

I know I am moving, yet I feel so still,

I call out to you but my voice becomes shrill.

You seem so near, yet so far away,

I am dead I can feel, 

But only a moment more I can stay.

I know you are careless, but for once look around,

For you I hold on this last breath, or dead I will be found.

I am dying besides you, you are busy on the screen,

Just keep that phone away for once,

I do not want to die ... unheld ... unseen!
