Just stop.

The world is standing still. So still.

And it’s silent. No noise. A deathly hush.

Except for my heart, beating loud and clear.

Like pounding drums. Or the roar of a waterfall.

And it keeps getting louder and louder..

The only noise disturbing the sound of silence.

And I can feel it beating.

In my chest, my throat,  my head, in my brain.

And with each beat, crushing my body in pieces, I become more afraid of the next.

Panic.

Mouth dry, ears ringing, lungs not able to inhale.

There I’m standing at the grave of the one I love, just wishing for my heart to stop.
