She tried to breathe 
but the world just spun and spun and spun,
like a violent top
tossed across the floor
by a giggling, squirming imp.
And her heart sunk into melting floors
and her eyes saw nothing, there before,
And times that had been here once before
flashed forward, fled from her soul.
the emptiness was not so dark,
but it crawled with sterile,
nothing words.
