awakening

we were together
trapped in open space
where only playful rays
could tell us about the ticking clock
and change of days and nights
where air was wet
loading our lungs with lack of air
with growing pain
and zero chances for survival
but we were together there
sharing the oxygen
in loud counts of rhythmic breath ins and outs
trying to keep the eyes closed
being scared of drowning in black plain nothingness
being used to dump pain
of not knowing when and how



then


the door was shut behind us

and slowly we opened our eyes
