Fear

It trickles out of your mind

oozing like blood from the dark

tunnel of your ear

slithering down your throat

suffocating your vocal chords

killing the scream

rumbling in your diaphragm

its frozen hand jerks down

entering your lungs

engulfing each oxygen filled organ

with black rasping tendrils

paralysis sets in

each limb numbing and cold

your body turns black

and the pain becomes bearable

memories leak out in the form of

salty tears

as the blood pools

through the bullet hole

in the back of your head
