Definitions: The Spectator

You watch... watch as the world before you crumble

You feel like drowning.

Not in water.

Not in sorrows.

Not even in the past.

You’re choked with worry.

Your heart, constricted and trying to beat

Trying to keep you alive and breathing…

You feel restless…

You want to cry

Yet the tears refuse to fall

Your heart constricts a bit more tightly 

A bit more painfully

You’re scared.

You feel so powerless

As if you could do nothing but pay specter to the events that play

This is part of a set named Definitions... and in a certain way manages to define a part of me as well... I took this from my decaying blog at Blogger. Enjoy, comments would be lovely. ^_^
