An inch at a time

How can you feel life so still, and time moving each second,

When everything is a chaos?

As if it is the chaos draining you

into the abyss of absence and silence,

and drowing you deeper,

just an inch at a time.

As if it's the noise silencing each unsaid word

till you choke upon your own screams.

As if you are entwined in a vine

as the grips of love and warmth loosen each day

an inch at a time.

As if you loose your touch with the present and the future

An inch at a time.

As if someone's once fond memories are nearing the exit of your heart,

An inch at a time.

As if you are pulled into the dark, An inch at a time

till the light becomes an inch away.

As if the air is poison

entering you drop by drop

till your heart's midas touch learms to turn it into an elixir.

As if the trust walks away from the once trustworthy,

each day, an inch at a time.

And the lies are cutting you,

an inch at a time,

till the wounds start healing before the blood spills.
