Am I awake?

I wake up,

I can’t tell,

Am I alive?

I hear noises,

Footsteps,

Creeks in the floorboards,

Slight hue of the hallway light..

Did I wake up?

Where is everyone?

I hear voices,

I can’t understand.

what are they saying?

Can you repeat that?

Wait..

Can you repeat that..

Where am I?

Door opens,

He’s standing in front of me.

Silence.

More silence.

More silence..

The blackness of his eye,

Engulf my whole person,

I’m swallowed whole.

Why can’t I speak?

I try,

I try and try..

But still no sound.

It’s gone.

No sound comes.

No sound again.

It’s becoming clear,

I’m not leaving.

I’m not allowed to,

They’ve trapped me.

They’ve taken it.

My legs.

I can’t feel pain,

I should feel something,

I know I should.

But still

Nothing.

It’s starting to sink in,

Hopelessness,

Terror,

Acceptance.

Is this what it’s like?

…

Being Saved.
