you give it a title

Luke Bensing

Quake and feel
your lungs constricting
heart beat rapidly increasing
suddenly
you knew the feeling
of having lost control

or illusion of what you knew
though never belonged to you
in case you needed proof
here, here it is again

cold, cold, shiver
breathing thinner
can’t quite hear her
moving as a river
but just the motion
not the sound

in the moment
you don’t see it
it is gonna take more time
later you will move along
you will live again
keep taking on life another day
it will be allright

    Waves of emotion in this poem that speaks of ebbs and flows. Nicely done

  • V1RU$

    It transitions from despair and loss of control, but in the end a hint of reassurance. I love how its constructed! Keep up the good work
