where am I now?
who is this?

you make me question myself
question everything i have
ever believed in.

you brought a black box
as you walked inside my life,
a smile smug on your lips

& you start to
stuff my dreams
inside,

one by one,
until they suffocate within

they need me to breathe,
i need them to breathe
now we are breathless

my lungs are getting smaller,
the world around me
made of vacuum

give me air,
i beg with you, you are deaf,
busy in cutting

without my wings
i lay, now, in the cages
never flying, thrashing

in the nightmares of
'what ifs'
