The oxygen in my pipes is waning
The veins in my head are overflowing
A rush of blood to my head
I lie helplessly in my bed
…
My hands reach out for the phone
My skin can feel my bone
It seems my phone is dead
I lie helplessly in my bed
…
The night passes me by as I think of you
There is very little that I can do
The cold sun seems so dead
I lie helplessly in my bed
Very beautiful lines to comprehend.

You sorta took the words right out of my head, so I’m glad somebody did. Better it was you. Weird statement, I know.

I like the repetition because it reinforces for the reader the concept of the depression that is permeating your mood. Nice write…

Beautifully put……I saw a multitude of faces in my mind as I read, snapshots of residents who lived at the nursing home where I worked.

deep pain makes for many a poet. If only we could have the poems without the destruction.
