Trapped

I am falling,

falling into an abyss of darkness

falling into an inferno of flames licking your body

falling into the cold and jagged sea

I am being swallowed,

swallowed by an aura of deep black dread

swallowed by thousands of prickling flames

swallowed by the frigid waters that turn you to ice

I am crying,

a hole growing in my chest

because no one will find me

and take me out of my abyss

I am lonely,

alone while the world is together,

solo while others are a team,

never will I be able to stand

I am trapped,

in the pit of a confined cell

in the prison of eternity

and I know I will never

   get

       out

    yet your sugar was bitter, I cried too.

    I’m sorry that you never learned to care,

    fall

    warmth,

    pumpkin spice lattes

    hot, spice-soaked coffee drizzled with a splash of cinnamon

    coated with half-melted whipped cream, nestled by the delicate fire,

    comfort,

    your favorite cardigan
