Collapse - Fall Down, Give Way

It has been twenty four minutes

and this feeling of emptiness drones on.

My brain deceiving me,

my eyes misleading me.

Is my heart still beating?

Am I still breathing?

Are my lungs inflating?

Are my organs failing?

Not like I would notice,

even if they were.

Up till this point,

life has been a slur.

Disintegration of who I was,

a certain erosion of the soul.

How amusing this all isn't,

with a mind like a black hole.
