stifled, can't breathe, can't think.
suffocating! someone help!
the air, it's gone, it's gone!
where has it gone? why has it left me?
the silence presses on,
on my eardrums,
on my brain,
on my heart.
it's killing me, killing me!

The author's comments:
when i wrote this piece, I was thinking about the effect that music has on me, or rather, its absence.
