A Breakdown and More

It has happened again,
I wasn't ready this time.

A tightness in my chest
an ache inside
world's so bad
I can feel
the fear of everyone
sinking into me.
Someone's got to be a sacrifice.

Would you choose
to affect us to the point
that we can feel our hearts
skipping beats,
racing,
slowing,
stopping,
and that we cannot convince ourselves
of anything anymore.

I cannot lie but
you don't like the truth.
You're my heart sinking,
lives fleeing & fleeting.
