see it's holding me down.
my legs stumble and i fall onto the ground.
a chain of static wraps around my neck.
tighter and tighter it gets.
i fall towards my left,
but something then grips my neck to the right.
it clasps on and i can't bare much of a fight.
it's another chain, but make of something more sinister.
a chain of sadness has wrapped around my neck.
tighter and tighter it gets.
it doesn't seem like the material that could destroy,
but my throat is burning.
raw burnt flesh is all you can smell.
the static seeps into the skin
and traps my voice within.
the sadness turns everything inside me to ash,
the static eats it all up.
i've been pulled this way and that,
pulled apart until there is nothing more to attack.
i've been held down.
my legs have snapped, so i fell to the ground.
a shell of skin is all that's left.
but this murder case is one that'll never be solved.
for the only person involved...
was me.
