Barely Breathing
Choking throat,
a quivering tremble
deep inside.
the merciless grip
holding me tightly in place.
I am numb
the body jerks.
a slap, almost dull
distant now.
I have no thought,
no memory
my existence is void
in this moment
I have already left.
A nothing,
only buzzing
in this body.
movement,
shaking,
bracing,
barely breathing.
while this monster
takes
my life,
takes a piece of me.
there I freeze.
there part of me stays,
rigid,
barely breathing.
how does one move on?
how do I
move on?
my mind left that moment
back then;
running,
fleeing, long ago.
but this body
is still there,
barely breathing.
