Yellow

I lay between these yellow walls for hours on end
watching the analog clock just above my calender
watching the life that was once mine tick by without consequence 

I wait for a phone call 
but whos? 
and the walls are closing in 

I am being suffocated by yellow
by mementos and memories 
that now make my skin crawl 

you love yellow 
'it's happy' you told me one day
I love yellow 

It's so happy that it makes me want to scream
