There's a painful numbness and a numbing pain, both inter-mixed, diffusing through a hazy film of time. One doesn't know what the next moment brings and so one just lies back, unmoving, waiting, trying to feel the numbness, trying to benumb the pain.
The darkness is silent tonight. One doesn't know where it comes from, but one feels it seeping through, and soon one diffuses into the darkness, like a shadow. A shadow that breathes in the soundless night. Silence is dark tonight.
One doesn't know how and why one reached here; one does not know how and whether one would get out. Time is insignificant for once; all matter is a continuum. Suddenly a thought props in, intruding the chaos. One tear escapes. Half a smile is born. It's hard to hold on to the numbness any more. Terror!
That sinking feeling returns. And one continues to float. Unowned.

As long as one does this tight-rope walk unowned, one can hope to walk free. But if it is walked when one is owned, one can only fall.
Couldn't help blurting this out. Maybe I misunderstood it made it wayward, in that case, sorry for poking my nose in your prose! :P
Anyway, it's very well written and if every word is going in the right place, in the right orientation and in the right note, I guess it can take care of the sinking, the darkness and the silence.
How do you do this! Always first to comment, always one incisive comment that forces me to re-read it and think something disturbing!
But seriously, what does one do when one doesn't know whether one's existence is owned or unowned, or at least feels neither. Can one fall? Can one prevent falling?
Can this stay?
Will this end? This sinking feeling..
Hmmmmmmm
After darkness there is always light dear:-))))
Chk out my space u ahve been tagged:-)))
Co-incidence!
I guess one keeps on looking for the answers, meanwhile intoxicating oneself with patience and words in order to keep out insanity and to sleep at night.
One might even see faces of life normally unknown, and it's worth it.
w.o. darkness we cant n wont appreciate light.
HUGS!
