Suffocation

The cold keeps snatching at my ankles,
My flip flops clicky-clack
on the vacant pavement
I fight to catch my breath that whips itself away from me

The tears fall
slowly- my vision is left somewhere behind me-
crawling down my cheek
onto my neck and heaving chest, still without air
Silently, with no rhythm to this pain
it washes oven me in waves, receding before it really hits
Silently; for no one must know

Trapped,
a glass dome encloses me
A poisonous gas condensing into an impenetrable fog
The sun behind these clouds. It wants to break through;
I said the fog was
Impenetrable.
Hope
crushed by the slam of Pandora's box.
