Eye of a Hurricane
But it feels as though time has stopped
How can I possibly believe
When people say that everything will be okay
That this time it really will?
I’m trying to be strong
Trying, trying for you
But I don’t know where you are,
And I feel so alone
It’s like the world has stopped spinning,
All motion has ceased.
Suspended in time, I see the world moving around me,
But I cannot grasp it.
Everything I know stares back at me,
Their familiarity spun into a whirlwind of colours,
Shapeless,
Intangible.
I hear nothing but my own heartbeat,
Whose hollow beat hurts my ears.
A deafening, unrelenting reminder
Of the fragility of life.
I feel nothing but the pang in my heart.
Worry,
Guilt,
Fear.
As the confusion around me spins faster and faster,
I remain floating in nothingness,
Not seeing,
Not hearing,
Not feeling,
Just unaware,
Lost in the eye of a hurricane.
