lost in distraction
what will you do when the distraction ends
when suddenly the world stands still
what will you do when it punches your gut
and all you can do is keep breathing
just barely
what will you do when there’s nowhere to hide
when you choke on your fear, alone
what will you do when the story ends
without you
what will you do when sleep will not come
when you reach out and find nothing
what will you do when something frightens you
and scares you through the night
what will you do when there’s no words left
when everything around you crumbles
what will you do when all the color has drained
and only grey remains
what will you do when the light leaves you life
and leaves you alone in the dark
what will you do when there’s no one to share
no laughter no warmth and no life
you drown on your tears and you choke on your breath
and you wish your heart was dead and deaf
