Loud Silence by Victoria Ruiz

My body burns

Sneaky, the feeling surrounds me

I feel her hot breath

Seductive and feline, she has me

I try to run away

She laughs at my despair

Her claws stick without mercy

My mind begs

But she remains stormy

Whispering lies

And I believe each one of them

The smoke blinds me

Numb my worries

Relief

I can breathe again

The bitter on my tongue becomes sweet

My chest relaxes

And the world stops

I am intoxicated by the illusion of being young

But paradise is brief

And life frightens me

I need more

And more

And more

And more

I am invincible

I am unbeatable

I am immortal

Until my fall
