I’m sitting here
In this hallway
So empty,
Almost hollow
Doing my best
Not to Swallow
What could be my last breath
This house though
It surrounds me
With life
Why Can’t I feel it
Why does it not touch me
Could Maybe
I be
Too Far Gone
Beyond numb
Forever lost
To this inside force
That chokes me
That makes it so hard
For me to just be

Makes me worry about you.  Your poetic words just about moved me to tears--very touching.
