linoleum

by Ashe - Libra

cold floor presses against my face
tears empty like rain on the floor
feeling all warmth and feeling leave me
enveloped in linoleum
breathing in potpurri
my utopia
too sick to move, to hurt to cry
feeling warm teardrops gush
over the previous rain dried to my face
wanting it over
wishing my luck would begin
heart screaming for someone to rescue me
from this depression
crying myself to sleep
waking sore and unrested
staring at my reflection
asking why my blanket of tiles
is more secure than my bed
memories flood in as if a switch was turned
knowing the answer before the question was finished
