An overwhelming tension
Inevitably waiting to snap
The air waning thin
As threads binding all come loose
Threatening to tear apart
What is yet to come
Passes through my fingers
Shrivelling into a nothingness
Like it never happened
An invisible force
A ferocious current against me
Ready to sweep me
Along with the memories
I stubbornly cling to
The burden weighing too low
Weakening my very foundations
Burrowing me deeper
Into my own exile
