i remember an endless aching settled deep within my bones.

blurred nights spent taking anything i found -

anything to stop the shaking, the paralysis.

i remember darkness creeping in and out. 

i remember hurrying back and forth with

chores, bills, cleaning, 

rearranging pencils, sorting books by alphabetical order, removing silverware

and putting it back in again.

all to prevent the inevitable sinking, 

seeping, 

crying into the night,

being lost without a single sound.
