swallowing the space around me,

The only distraction from the echo
of footsteps beyond my door,
and the whispers emanating
from the cold stone walls

I lied in maddening solitude
as I was consumed
by the silence dripping
into my veins,
drowning my mind,
in a complete sense of nothing.

Grasping at shadows, I watched
the ceiling drift into the void
that hovered above my pillow;
swallowing the space around me,
until the only evidence of light
was the dim view of a clock
ticking in endless cadence.

The only distraction from the echo
of footsteps beyond my door,
and the whispers emanating
from the cold stone walls
of my chamber.
