Weighed down by emptiness,
My destination grows father away with each step toward it,
The stillness hangs eerily in the air like a dead man,
Whose steely gaze pulls my eyes down to meet his,

Your words are the bullets,
They won't let up,
They are tearing me apart,
"What do you want"
I'm in the fetal position,
Tears obscure my vision,
I don't know what's happening,
"What
