Empty mailbox Blank textbox Keyboard scatter Alphabets roll Thoughts obscure Eyes burn Vision blurs Fingers tremble Patience exhausts Faith diminishes Anxiety bouts Heart pounds Blood freezes Brain shuts How long?!

Silent moments Still and hollow Dark lonely night Words long lost No heartbeat Not even breathing Absolutely blank All seems vacant and void
