Senseless


In the silence of night

I called out,

but from my mouth, there came no sound,

so there came no reply.


Blinded by darkness,

I looked all around.

But not the faintest glimpse of light,

could be found.


I reached out my fingers,

desperately trying to feel.

But I felt nothing there,

there was nothing to touch.


I breathed in deeply,

hoping to catch the scent of something familiar.

But there was nothing there,

not even the air.


Now clutching at straws, my last chance to taste .

But what could I taste in this god forsaken place,

So I bit down hard into my lip, to taste my blood.

But there was nothing,

No pain

No wound

No taste of blood

Wow! This is powerful and really resonated with me. I have experienced similar dreams, unable to speak cry out or move, or even breathe- they are terrifying- you have captured this well

Appropriately unnerving.
